Betreff: New GGBN Data Portal Release

Dear colleagues,

Today GGBN, the Global Biodiversity Biobanking Network, proudly releases its new data portal, https://www.ggbn.org.

We have reworked the main search to increase the performance and usability. You can now browse through 4.4 million GGBN records and 6.9 million material entities with facetting and sorting. In addition, the landing page provides full text search across all major resources (samples, members, wiki, document library) which will enable easier access to GGBN information.

Our 114 members can now be explored in a dedicated search (https://www.ggbn.org/ggbn_portal/members) where you can find information about their collections in general.

Collaborative effort

The new portal serves as a powerful tool for molecular research and biodiversity biobanking by providing improved access to GGBN’s unique features and resources (permit information, linked material entities, document library).

This work is made possible by the collaborative and consistent effort of colleagues from eight GGBN members working together on shaping and building the new portal (BGBM, MSB, NHM London, NMNH Smithsonian, OGL, University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute, and University of Torino).

Please feel free to share this message with your colleagues. We appreciate feedback and questions, which you can send to info@ggbn.org.

Best wishes,

GGBN Team
