Presentation Transcript

  1. GGBN and NHM London.GGBN Workshop Copenhagen July 2012Jackie Mackenzie-Dodds.

  2. NHM London: 70 million specimens, >300 scientific staff (curators and researchers), 5 science departments: Botany, Entomology, Mineralogy, Palaeontology, Zoology

  3. NHM Science Restructure MCF

  4. Molecular Collections Facility:~2 M sample capacity

  5. Molecular Collections: Preliminary Audit 2008 • Legacy collections: 0.5 – 0.75 Million in 2011 • Predicted growth (fieldwork and molecular studies): 0.5 – 1.5 Million samples by 2015 • FTA: 65K specimens (SCORE Aidan Emery)

  6. GGBN: What do we Need to Build? • Build on gold standard excellence in taxonomic ID • Audit: who’s got what where? Target gaps. Build distributed collection network. • Build better access • Data sharing: interoperable/compatible data management systems (KE EMu/FPro/NHM DCS) • Specimens/samples sharing: standardisation/harmonisation/best practice • GGBN Policy ABS (MTA,PIC,MAT)/IPR • Shipping (cold chain), tracking, labelling (G/UUIDs) • Cost recovery models (>2 – 20%) • Optimised preservation, extraction methods (field and lab) for high quality genetic resources (publications)

  7. GGBN Networks Duplication of effort everywhere! EU: SYNTHESYS: best practices, archival and fresh DNA extraction optimisation. CPB (CETAF), ECBOL: Sample/specimen access harmonisation, pan EU - ABS policy (also NHM ABS WG) Global: ISBER (Enviro-Bio WG): best practices, MTA audit (standardisation), shipping & cold chain. ………..iBOL, Frozen Ark, Snowbank etc
