从事天然产物研究的科学家通常要么自己进行实地采集,要么与植物学家、真菌学家或水肺潜水员等合作伙伴合作。从此类收集旅行中收集的信息(例如经度/纬度坐标、地理、海拔和大量其他实地观察)为科学界(例如生物多样性)提供了有价值的数据,即使它与天然产物研究的直接目标无关,天然产物研究通常侧重于药物发现和/或化学生态学。地理信息系统 (GIS) 已用于显示、管理和分析地理数据,包括天然产品的收集地点。然而,对于外行来说,这些工具通常超出了天然产物科学家的财务和/或计算手段。借助新的、免费且易于使用的地理空间可视化工具(例如 Google Earth),天然产品科学家现在可以对采样数据进行绘图和地理成像。本研究的目标是开发适合天然产品设置的简单工具,从而提供一种绘制此类信息的方法,特别是通过 Google Earth 等开源软件。
Scientists engaged in the research of natural products often either conduct field collections themselves or collaborate with partners who do, such as botanists, mycologists, or SCUBA divers. The information gleaned from such collecting trips (e.g. longitude/latitude coordinates, geography, elevation, and a multitude of other field observations) have provided valuable data to the scientific community (e.g., biodiversity), even if it is tangential to the direct aims of the natural products research, which are often focused on drug discovery and/or chemical ecology. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been used to display, manage, and analyze geographic data, including collection sites for natural products. However, to the uninitiated, these tools are often beyond the financial and/or computational means of the natural product scientist. With new, free, and easy-to-use geospatial visualization tools, such as Google Earth, mapping and geographic imaging of sampling data are now within the reach of natural products scientists. The goals of the present study were to develop simple tools that are tailored for the natural products setting, thereby presenting a means to map such information, particularly via open source software like Google Earth.
