• Link specimen data to GenBank o ties in with ticket #646 - tissues available o Data in GenBank cannot be mapped to collections automatically --> must be done manually by an expert o To link in iDigBio, put GenBank accession info in the specimen record and then publish recordset to iDigBio; Genbank records should correspondingly have occurrenceID (or iDIgBio recordID) ? Typically found in the Notes field ? DwC has an associatedSequences field, but it is not used often o Biorepositories with data in iDigBio - linking to voucher and genomic information - could be the leaders for this need o IDigBio needs to provide a leadership to the community Action items: Blog post, Newsletter story outlining the issue, benefits and solutions moving forward
