Identifying germplasm samples in multi-user databases Ruaraidh Sackville Hamilton
Identifying your own samples:you do what you want! in ICIS as a name • You may create an ID to identify the sample uniquely in your collection ICIS name NSTAT=8 (“preferred ID”) • Collector: collected sample ID • Genebank: accession ID, seed increase ID • Breeder: cross ID, selection ID • Others, e.g. nurseries, labs: line ID • National authority for variety release • You may just use pre-existing names • Breeders & researchers using lines created by others • Farmers ICIS assigns a unique ID ICIS developers' workshop
Sharing among similar partnerse.g. genebank accession database • GID doesn’t help identify • To identify the sample, must also know the holder / manager of the sample • In ICIS as Germplasm Location (GLOCN) • GLOCN= “Identifier of the location where the germplasm was created as a distinct unit of management with a new GID” works if location where it is managed = location where it was created • Cf past confusion ICIS developers' workshop
Sharing dissimilar types of germplasm • To identify the sample, must also know the type of germplasm • In ICIS as Germplasm Creation Method (METHN) • Shawn Yates 2010 • METHN = “Number that identifies the method of genesis for the germplasm” works if method of genesis type of germplasm ICIS developers' workshop
Conclusion:3-level sample identification • Type of germplasm : METHN • Needs ontology of types • Location : GLOCN • Preferred ID : NSTAT=8 • N.B. preferred name (NSTAT=1) is not part of the sample ID • Cf past confusion between a name and an ID • GIDs with single names should often have NSTAT=8 • E.g. breeders’ selections • Genebank seed increases ICIS developers' workshop
Genebank’s view of passport data:Multi-crop passport descriptors ICIS developers' workshop
ICIS view of MCPD What? Who? Where? When? Genebank accession Acquired by donation from What? Who? Where? When? Donor’s sample Originating from What? Who? Where? When? Original material(collection or cross) ICIS developers' workshop
Types, methods, locations ICIS developers' workshop
Reviewing methods for an ontology of germplasm types SF / CF is a property of the parents, not the method Interspecific or not is a property of the parents, not the method ICIS developers' workshop
Reviewing methods Applied to accessions:Historical confusion between method of collecting from fieldand method of accessing into genebank ICIS developers' workshop
Reviewing methods Shouldn’t have methods specific to a project ICIS developers' workshop
Other problems with methods? • No distinction between reproduction and taking a sub-sample • Is a greater hierarchy needed? • Top level for identifying type of germplasm? • Lower level for finer distinction e.g. betweendifferent methods of seed increase? ICIS developers' workshop
