A Digital Genebank: Information
Management & Hardware Technology
GRIN-Global Platform
GRIN-Global (GG) is a data management set of tools
for all Genebanks and is becoming the database
standard globally and will allow Genebanks to be
linked. GG is an open-source database software.
CIP started migration to GG in 2017.
CIP contributed developing piece of software: Mobile
apps and Wizard tools, taking a reactive approach to
data management.
The first Genebank minting a DOI and having a
complete adoption of these permanent IDs for each
accession.
Way forward: Testing the new GRIN-Global
Community Edition.
What data
is stored?
Genesys PGR
Genesys is an online platform where you can find
information about Plant Genetic Resources for Food
and Agriculture (PGRFA) conserved in genebanks
worldwide.
Data on CIP accessions is sent from our GRIN-Global
database to Genesys at least twice per year.
Genesys features: Search by text and advanced
filtering. Geographical map of accession collecting
sites. Finding similar accessions across different
genebank collections. Access to trait datasets,
descriptor lists and collection subsets. Accession
images.
What data
is published?
IT Technology:
Barcode + Mobile devices
Hyperautomation a vital top strategic technology because
of the relentless demand to shift to digital work.
Barcode labelling in all Genebank procedures to reduce
human error, improve data collection and facilitate
traceability:
• Instead of writing  print a label
• Instead of reading  scan a barcode
The first barcode printed at In Vitro collection in 2000.
The hardware platform for the Genebank:
• 40 Rugged handheld computers
• 14 Rugged desktop barcode printers
• 12 Rugged mobile barcode printers
• 10 Handheld scanners
• 1 million labels per year
Devices manufactured by Zebra (www.zebra.com)
