DNA/Molecular dataset summary

DNA Bank of the Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig The DNA bank of the Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK) holds a steadily growing collection of about 1900 samples of animal DNA and approximately 2400 animal tissue samples, currently with a focus on various arthropod (Insecta, Crustacea) and vertebrate (Mammalia) taxa of Central Europe, Africa, Central America and Antarctica. The DNA bank is part of the DNA Bank Network which was established in spring 2007 and is currently funded by the DFG. The network was initiated by GBIF Germany and provides a technically optimized DNA collection service facility for all biological research accessible via one central web portal, and promotes the deposition of well documented reference DNA samples after project completion or data publication from scientists of other universities and institutions.
