Support for Cataloging and Housing the Herpetological Tissue Collection at the Texas Memorial Museum

在特拉维斯·拉杜克博士的指导下，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校获得了一笔赠款，用于对德克萨斯纪念博物馆的爬虫学组织藏品进行编目。 冷冻组织收藏是一种宝贵的资源，通过长期保存可用于遗传分析的样本，补充了博物馆的自然历史标本。 来自目录、野外笔记和其他书面材料的记录将输入数据库，以可搜索的格式在线提供。 该数据库将使人们能够方便地检索有关样本来源和样本来源的博物馆标本的信息。 冷冻样本将被编目并赋予条形码，它们将被放置在液氮中以进行安全储存和保存。 在线目录将加强两栖动物和爬行动物的保护和教育计划。

A grant has been awarded to the University of Texas at Austin under the direction of Dr. Travis LaDuc for cataloging the herpetology tissue collection of the Texas Memorial Museum. The frozen tissue collection is a valuable resource that complements the natural history specimens of the museum by providing long-term preservation of samples that can be used in genetic analysis. Records from catalogs, field notes, and other written material will be entered in a database to be made available online in searchable format. The database will allow easy retrieval of information on the source of the samples and the museum specimens from which they were derived. Frozen samples will be catalogued and given barcodes, and they will be placed in liquid nitrogen for secure storage and conservation. The online inventory will enhance conservation and educational programs for amphibians and reptiles.
