DNA & tissue samples in freezers (-80/-20)

The Texas A&M Biodiversity Research and Teaching Collections (formerly the Texas Cooperative Wildlife Collection) is maintained by staff and faculty of the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences and is one of several natural history collections within the Texas A&M system. The facility houses important collections of fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, parasites, and marine invertebrates that are available for use by the scientific community. Visit our collections pages to learn more about each division.

The Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA) is known for being one of the world’s most beautiful and impressive museums devoted to Africa. Since its founding in 1898, its task has been to preserve and manage collections, carry out scientific research, and disseminate knowledge to a wide audience through its scientific, educational, and museological activities. The RMCA plays an active role in the sustainable development of Africa, and aspires to be a centre for collaboration and reflection on today's Africa and the challenges it faces. Our collections, noted for their diversity, are of enormous scientific value and are unique in many ways. Large portions have now been digitised and made available to researchers the world over.

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.

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.

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.
