CSBR:Natural History: Upgrade and transfer of the Museum of Southwestern Biologys Division of Genomic Resources frozen tissue collection to Nitrogen vapor storage.

CSBR：自然史：安装档案存储系统，以确保西南生物学博物馆的标本安全。授予新墨西哥州州立大学的西南生物学博物馆一个奖项，以确保基因组资源部（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，代表20万种生物体，这些生物体都是数字化的，可以在线搜索。超过84%与传统凭证标本有关。追溯到1979年，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。该设施还保存了大量鱼类、两栖动物和爬行动物的组织，包括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。这些标本为专业和跨学科研究提供了重要资源。每年大约2000个样本中的50个贷款产生80个同行评审的出版物。DGR在发展博物馆社区和分子基因组工作之间的联系方面发挥了领导作用。对DGR的升级为进一步推动这些努力提供了一个平台，并利用了DGR与市、州和联邦机构的大量参与，特别是在自然资源管理和公共及野生动物健康领域。计划中的外展活动利用博物馆现有的项目来教育公众，包括年轻学生，关于收藏品在造福社会的科学实践中的作用。该项目将通过取代现有的电气（-80 ℃）冷冻系统，配有3个大型液氮冷冻机和氮气发生器，通过提供低得多的存档温度，-190C），以及更长的保护时间，以应对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%）。所有要移动的样本都将收到唯一的条形码，以便将相关的样本数据传输到数字对象跟踪系统和信息学应用程序中。相关的数据库Arctos与GenBank（很快将与IsoBank）直接链接，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。这种联系将博物馆标本作为主要的联系点，不仅连接了来自于以科隆为基础的研究的出版物，而且还连接了来自每个标本的越来越多的新分子数据。

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.
