The Museum of Southwestern Biology (MSB), Division of Genomic Resources (DGR) is a centralized repository at the University of New Mexico (UNM) for cryogenic biological materials submitted from MSB divisions at the University of New Mexico and from other individuals and institutions worldwide. The MSB DGR collection archives cryogenically preserved samples of animal tissues, whole organisms such as embryos and parasites, and purified DNA and RNA for the MSB divisions of Mammals, Birds, Fishes, Herpetology, and Parasitology. The MSB DGR collection contains over 500,000 cryogenic samples of more than 250,000 specimens and 3,000 species, representing Mammals (92%), Birds (4%), Reptiles (1%), Fishes (1%), and a growing collection of associated endo- and ectoparasites (2%). The collection spans more than 30 countries, with particularly strong holdings from the Southwestern United States, Beringia, and Latin America. Tissues and museum specimens can be located online bysearching the Arctos collections database at https://arctosdb.org for each of the MSB divisions.

The zoology collections at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science house approximately 77,000 specimens or lots (Mammals ~21,000, Birds ~55,000, Parasites ~7500 lots, and Herps ~1,000). Tissues are available from these collections representing over 31,100 individual samples. Specimens records are published from Arctos to data portals such as iDigBio, SCAN, ORNIS, MANiS, VertNet, GBIF, GenBank, and BISON, among others. Founded in 1900, the Museum continues to evolve, expanding in both size and breadth of activities, as exhibits, programs, research, and collections continue to offer opportunities for discovery.

The University of Alaska Museum of the North\'s Genomic Resources facility contains over 200,000 tissue samples from voucher specimens archived in the Mammalogy, Ornithology, Ichthyology and Entomology collections. Collection holdings can be searched on Arctos, a Collaborative Collection Management Solution. The geographic and taxonomic composition of the tissue collection is largely determined by the research interests of the museum curators and other local and regional biologists conducting research that involves specimen collection. It is the largest collection of such material from Alaskan species, with tissue samples dating back to 1936, though preserving fresh tissue did not become standard practice until the early 1990s. The storage facility consists of eight liquid nitrogen-cooled cryovats that maintain vapor-phase nitrogen at -170C (-274F).

Animal and plant tissues and genetic resources for and from Research.

The Repository Centre is providing access to biological material ranging from whole organisms (bacteria, fungi, plant material) to DNA samples of whole genomes (gDNA), organellar and sub-genomic clones and BACs or genes (ESTs). The core of our facility is a large automated sample storage and retrieval system. We integrate material and data from various sources all over Europe, being part of the EVOLTREE and Trees4Future networks.

CPMA was established in 1989, at CPQBA - Chemical, Biological and Agricultural Pluridisciplinary Research Center, at UNICAMP - Campinas State University, in the city of Paulinia, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The first species were donated by the University of Brasilia and CENARGEN – Genetic Resources and Biotechnology Research Center of EMBRAPA – Brazilian National Agricultural Research Company. Since then, the Collection has received donations from various research institutions, private farmers and kept samplings from several research projects The Collection has approximately 3.000 specimens (650 species and 78 botanical families) of wild and domesticated medicinal and aromatic plants from different regions of Brazil and the world. CPMA is one of the main bases for scientific research and technology development by CPQBA-UNICAMP and Brazilian and International partner institutions. The species arrive at the Collection, in most cases, with information on their biological characteristics and folk uses, what supports research and development, processes of domestication and scientific evaluation. All information is available in a database online documentation with photos; the data are available in Splink and IABIN network. CPMA is approved since 2005 as a Trusted Biorepository by the Brazilian Federal Environment Ministry and became an associate member of the GGBN - Global Genomic Biodiversity Network in 2014.

The ESB has one of the oldest and greatest collections of environmental specimens in the world. The oldest samples are collected in the mid-1960s, and for some species continuous series of samples from the late 1960s up to now are stored.The ESB has at its disposal tissue samples from more than 260,000 organisms, mostly from animals but also from plants (moss). The majority of the samples are stored at -30 °C and -80 °C. Some types of samples are stored dry at room temperature.
