Explore the development of DarwinCore DNA tissue classes for efficient data publication, including taxonomy, sample facts, amplification details, and preservation methods. Future goals involve implementing these classes in biodiversity records and proposing them as a new TDWG standard.

GGBN Working Group for DNA/Tissue ClassesTDWG 2012 Conference Working Group: Katie Barker, John Deck, Gabi Droege, Paul Flemons, Anton Guentsch, Éamonn Ó Tuama, Robert Robbins, Jamie Whitacre, John Wiezoreck
Purpose of WG • Method for publishing DarwinCore GGBN member data on tissues and DNA • Develop a DNA/Tissue class to DarwinCore, based on existing ABCDDNA model
Discussion Outcomes • DarwinCore DNA tissue classes • New “Basis of Record”, sample • Four new classes • Sample facts (e.g., tissue, DNA, RNA, environmental) • Kind of Unit (e.g., blood, muscle, mRNA, soil, water) • Amplification (e.g., Genbank accession number, primers, sequence length) • Preservation (e.g., liquid nitrogen, frozen, silica) • Preparation (e.g., method, date)

Next 12 months • Explore possibility of adding sample to the “core” • Implement classes in IPT • Run SI “test case”, as part of DFG proposal • Index data from IPT • Identify and fill gaps/issues • TDWG 2013, review standard • December 2013, propose DNA/Tissue classes and ABCDDNA as new TDWG standard
