The Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ) is a private center for research and education focused on the comparative relationships of animal life. The MCZ houses millions of animal specimens divided into nine departments and hosts thousands of visiting researchers each year.

The Bishop Museum houses the most comprehensive collection of cultural artifacts and natural history specimens from across the Pacific. Of the more than 6 million natural history specimens, many from species endemic to single islands or island archipelagos, a small portion have already been sampled and cryopreserved in the Pacific Center for Molecular Biodiversity. We are currently working to biobank tissue samples from the nearly 10,000 endemic species and many of the non-native taxa in Hawaii, as well as many of the Pacific Island collections housed at the museum.

The BCCM/DCG culture collection is part of the BCCM consortium (Belgian Coordinated Collections of Micro-organisms) and is hosted at Ghent University. Our collection is specialized in freshwater and marine diatoms but also hosts dedicated collections of commercially interesting other microalgae. Whereas public deposit is free of charge, we also offer safe deposits. The BCCM/DCG culture collection currently holds over 500 cryopreserved and well-documented diatom strains.

BCCM/GeneCorner is a partner of the Belgian Co-ordinated Collections of Micro-organisms (BCCM). Funded by the Belgian Science Policy (Belspo), BCCM/GeneCorner, previously known as BCCM/LMBP, is a unique plasmid repository in Europe. BCCM/GeneCorner warrants the long-term storage and distribution of plasmids, microbial host strains and DNA libraries of fundamental, biotechnological, educational or general scientific importance. BCCM/GeneCorner also accepts natural and genetically modified animal or human cell lines, including hybridomas, as well as other genetic material, in the safe deposit and patent deposit collections. BCCM/GeneCorner provides the following services: - characterisation tests: plasmid profile analysis, bacteriophage contamination testing, plasmid sequencing and annotation, ...; - gene technology services: plasmid DNA extraction (small and large scale); - training & consultancy: training on plasmids and host cells, consultancy, collaboration, customized services BCCM/GeneCorner is ISO 9001:2015 certified for accession, control, preservation, storage and supply of biological material and related information in the frame of public deposits, safe deposits and patent deposits.

The BCCM/IHEM collection is part of the BCCM consortium (Belgian Coordinated Collections of Micro-organisms) and is hosted at the Scientific Institute of Public Health in Brussels. Our collection is specialized in biomedical fungi, i.e. infectious agents, allergy causing species and mycotoxin producers. The collection holds over 16000 isolates and accepts public, patent and safe deposits.

The BCCM/ITM collection is part of the ISO 9001-certifified BCCM consortium (Belgian Coordinated Collections of Micro-organisms) and is hosted at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp. Our collection is specialized in mycbobacteria from human, animal and environmental origin. The collection holds over 700 freeze-dried strains and DNA extracts for a selection of them. We accept public and safe deposits, and distribute viable bacilli as well as DNA extracts.
