This is an enormous task, requiring active participation of taxonomists, DNA sequencing facilities, database managers, and funding agencies to support monography, DNA sequencing, continuous specimen and database management, and potentially, the recircumscription of species as new data become available.
There was a wide variety of changes in 5-HT receptor expression among the cancer specimens and database results.
Suwei Zhao and Kongyi Jiang provided technical assistance, and K. Mitter made essential contributions as specimen collection and database manager.
In addition, processing of field data, including data entry, ID of field plat specimens, Herbarium specimen mounting and databasing will occur later in the semester.
JL collected all of specimens and clinical database, and carried out PCR and analyzed the results.
LYZ collected all of specimens and clinical database, and carried out Western blotting analysis.
KC was involved in pathologic review of tumor specimens and clinical database management.
A separate aliquot of pleural fluid (in ideal circumstances, 10 mL) was collected, labeled according to the central coordinator's de-identification and specimen-tracking database, and stored at −20°C.
To date, no comprehensive, community-vetted workflows have been published for digitizing flat sheets and packets of plants, algae, and fungi, even though latest estimates suggest that only 33% of herbarium specimens have been digitally transcribed, 54% of herbaria use a specimen database, and 24% are imaging specimens.
The Herbaria maintain a number of specimen databases and other data resources that are publicly available from this website.
Cooperation with the nomenclature databases, MycoBank and Index Fungorum, as well as annotation and specimen databases such as UNITE and MyCoPortal should be expanded where possible.
