CSBR: Natural History: Installation of an Archival Storage System to Ensure Specimen Security at the Museum of Southwestern Biology.An award is made to New Mexico State University's Museum of Southwestern Biology to ensure the long-term preservation, quality and security of the Division of Genomic Resources (DGR). DGR is a world-class repository for frozen biological materials representing 200,000 organisms that are digitized and fully searchable on-line. Over 84% are associated with traditional voucher specimens. Dating back to 1979, DGR is the largest wild mammal collection worldwide, and among the top 10 largest bird tissue collections. The facility also houses substantial fish, amphibian and reptile tissues including critical samples from endangered species and threatened ecosystems. DGR is worldwide in scope with excellent representation from North America, Asia, Africa, and throughout Latin America. These specimens provide critical resources for studies of specialized and interdisciplinary studies. Annually 50 loans of approximately 2000 specimens generate 80 peer-reviewed publications. DGR has held a leadership role in developing connections between the museum community and the molecular genomic efforts. This upgrade to DGR provides a platform to further those efforts, and also leverages the heavy involvement of DGR with municipal, state, and federal agencies, especially in the fields of natural resource management and public and wildlife health. Planned outreach utilizes existing programs at the museum to educate the public, including young students, on the role of collections in the practice of science that benefits society.This project will create a state-of-the-art facility by replacing the existing electrical (-80C) freezer system with 3 large liquid nitrogen freezers and a nitrogen generator that will significantly increase sample quality by providing much lower archival temperatures (-190C) and much longer protection should there be a catastrophic interruption of power or other emergency. In addition this upgrade will reduce electrical consumption substantially (60% reduction). All samples to be moved will receive unique barcodes to enable the transfer of associated specimen data into a digital object tracking system and to informatics applications. The associated database, Arctos, has direct links to GenBank (and soon IsoBank) that immediately tie the specimen and associated museum data (spatial, temporal, morphological) to other Big Data on the web. This connection places the museum specimen as the primary nexus that connects not only the publications derived from specimen-based research, but also the increasingly vast amounts of new molecular data derived from each specimen.

CSBR：自然历史：在西南生物博物馆安装档案存储系统以确保标本安全。新墨西哥州立大学西南生物博物馆获得了一个奖项，以确保基因组资源部门（DGR）的长期保存、质量和安全。DGR是一个世界级的冷冻生物材料储存库，它代表了20万种生物，这些生物被数字化并可以在网上完全搜索。超过84%的病例与传统的代金券标本有关。自1979年以来，DGR是世界上最大的野生哺乳动物收藏，也是十大鸟类组织收藏之一。该设施还收藏了大量的鱼类、两栖动物和爬行动物组织，包括来自濒危物种和受威胁生态系统的重要样本。DGR的业务范围遍及全球，在北美、亚洲、非洲和整个拉丁美洲都有出色的代表。这些标本为专业研究和跨学科研究提供了重要的资源。每年50次大约2000个标本的出借产生80份同行评审的出版物。DGR在发展博物馆界与分子基因组工作之间的联系方面发挥了领导作用。此次升级为DGR提供了进一步开展这些工作的平台，还利用了DGR与市、州和联邦机构的密切参与，特别是在自然资源管理以及公共和野生动物卫生领域。计划外展利用博物馆现有的项目来教育公众，包括年轻学生，关于收藏在造福社会的科学实践中的作用。该项目将创建一个最先进的设施，用3个大型液氮冷冻机和一个氮气发生器取代现有的电气（-80℃）冷冻系统，通过提供更低的存档温度（-190℃）和更长的保护时间来显著提高样品质量，以防发生灾难性的电力中断或其他紧急情况。此外，这一升级将大大减少电力消耗（减少60%）。所有要移动的样品都将接收唯一的条形码，以便将相关的样品数据传输到数字对象跟踪系统和信息学应用程序中。相关数据库Arctos与GenBank（很快也会有IsoBank）有直接链接，可以立即将标本和相关的博物馆数据（空间、时间、形态）与网络上的其他大数据联系起来。这种联系使博物馆标本成为主要的纽带，不仅连接了基于标本研究的出版物，而且还连接了来自每个标本的越来越多的新分子数据。
