Lortal, Sylvie; Bizet, C.; Stackebrandt, Erko; Smith, D.; Garay, E.; Arahal, D. R.; Pereira, Leonel; Santos, C.; Lima, Nelson; Verkley, G. J. M.The European Consortium of Microbial Resource Centres (EMbaRC, www.embarc.eu) is a research infrastructure project gathering together major microbial Biological Resource Centres (BRCs) in Europe. These culture collections have a long and respected tradition in training people that are involved in microbial taxonomy, preservation and management. Advanced and bespoke courses on related topics add high value to th...

Lortal, Sylvie; Bizet, Chantal; Bouchier, Christiane; Stackebrandt, Erko; Smith, D.; Arahal, David R.; Desmeth, Philippe; Lima, Nelson[Excerpt] EMbaRC is an EU project which aims to improve, coordinate and validate microbial resource centre (MRC) delivery to the European and International researchers. To ensure harmonisation of the quality of MRCs, EMbaRC plans to take the current OECD best practice guidelines and emerging national standards for Biological Resource Centres (BRCs) to the international level. Outreach and training activities wi...

Preserving accuracy in GenBank
Bidartondo, M. I.; Bruns, T. D.; Blackwell, M.; Edwards, I.; Taylor, A. F. S.; Horton, T.; Zhang, N.; Koljalg, U.; May, G.; Kuyper, T. W.; Gilbert, G.GenBank, the public repository for nucleotide and protein sequences, is a critical resource for molecular biology, evolutionary biology, and ecology. While some attention has been drawn to sequence errors (1), common annotation errors also reduce the value of this database. In fact, for organisms such as fungi, which are notoriously difficult to identify, up to 20% of DNA sequence records may have erroneous lin...
