show Abstracthide AbstractThis program is a GGI-funded effort to collect and preserve genetic material from the plant Tree of Life that is not yet represented in any of the Global Genome Biodiversity Network's partner institutions, and that are currently found in living collections around the globe. Its barcoding component seeks to detect taxonomic groups that do not have sequences flagged as barcodes in GenBank, thus allowing GGI to focus sequencing efforts on lineages that are not represented in this repository.
