Module 5C: Linkage of specimen records to associated Genetic Data
Module Purpose:
This module covers linking molecular data with the digital occurrence record for the specimen they were derived from.
Module Keywords:
DNA, extended specimen, interoperability, data capture
| TaskID | Task Name | Explanations and Comments | Resources |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | Identify genetic data to link | Gather sequence data as text or files locally or generate a list of relevant externaly hosted genetic data and the occurrence records for the sample they are derived from within your collection management system | |
| T2 | Import/upload local genetic data | Upload sequence data or files to online repository or to your collection management system. | [http://boldsystems.org/] [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/] [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra] |
| T3 | Link external data repositories to specimen occurrence record | Using the catalog number and an occurrence GUID or persistent URL, annotate the data upload to be referenceable to the record of the specimen in your collection management system. | |
| T4 | Link specimen occurrence record to external data repositories | Add link to persistent URL or GUID and record ID for the genetic data housed in the external repositories. | |
| T5 | Augment specimen record with genetic preparation metadata | Add metadata about the tissue used, type of genetic extraction, etc. These data can be structured according to the Darwin Core extension produced by GGBN (Global Genome Biodiversity Network) | Droege et al. 2016 GGBN Data Standard, GGBN Data Standard on TDWG, GGBN Extensions on GBIF |
