Abstract The GGBN Data Portal (http://www.ggbn.org, Droege et al. 2014) has established standardised data flows for genomic DNA samples, including voucher specimens, tissue samples, DNA samples as well as resulting sequences and publications. Dealing with different types of DNA (aDNA, gDNA, eDNA) is essential and closely related to user- ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20483
Abstract Data-intensive microbial (ecology) research requires approaches to organize information in logical formats to enable comparative studies, replication of experiments, and development of informatics tools. As the quantity and diversity of genomic data continues to increase at an exponential rate, it is imperative that these data a ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20423
Abstract MIxS (Minimum Information about any Sequence) (Yilmaz et al. 2011) is a metadata standard of the Genomics Standards Consortium (GSC), designed to make sequence data findable, accessible, and interoperable. It contains fields for recording physical and chemical characteristics of the sampling environment, geographical and habitat ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20637

Abstract Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) is home to a world-class taxonomy program based on Canada’s national agricultural collections for Botany, Mycology and Entomology. These collections contain valuable resources, such as type specimen for authoritative identification using approaches that include phenotyping, DNA barcoding, ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20608
Abstract The study of populations is central to ‘omics research, whether sequencing environmental samples, controlling for population structure when looking for genetic variation within a species, or studying the evolution of large clades. Researchers use different operational definitions of populations and communities, via the highly va ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20435

Abstract The Genomic Observatories Metadatabase (GeOMe, http://www.geome-db.org/) is an open access repository for geographic and ecological metadata associated with biosamples and genetic data. It contributes to the informatics stack – Biocode Commons – of the Genomic Observatories Network (https://gigascience.biomedcentral.com/articles ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20508
Abstract Life on Earth, including humanity, is tightly and inextricably intertwined with the environment. In a concerted effort to promote the well-being and dignity of humanity, while conserving and protecting the environment, the United Nations Resolution developed a series of targets in what is officially known as Transforming our wor ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20521
Abstract Metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) samples holds new promise to increase our ability to measure changes in biodiversity and community composition over time. It can allow the characterization of large groups of organisms where traditional sampling may be impractical or not cost-effective. However, it is still unclear how b ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20548
Abstract GBIF is working on the solution to represent molecular (DNA) evidence of species presence in time and space alongside the currently prevailing morphological evidence. Among many benefits of this approach are filling the geographic and taxonomic gaps and adequate representation of functionally important organism groups. Experimen ... https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20503
