Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that The University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbiodiversity.ku.edu%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cabentley%40ku.edu%7C53fdbb71b3e74c58e9db08d792cd1089%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C637139281759602804&sdata=NRvCUTRuR4RKGHu%2BMnYvZaEE%2BnKNFh1GlAmB9Yjd%2BOc%3D&reserved=0> has made their Ichthyology frozen tissue collection discoverable through GGBN using Specify 7.

The KU ichthyology tissue collection

The University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbiodiversity.ku.edu%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cabentley%40ku.edu%7C53fdbb71b3e74c58e9db08d792cd1089%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C637139281759612789&sdata=hTZHU8A0ubxZeZ3iG4kZgAJc6HZXO5cnOLPIfPb7yBI%3D&reserved=0> Ichthyology frozen tissue collection is housed in a state of the art cryogenic facility and has broad representation of both marine and freshwater fish diversity - over 11,200 individual tissue samples from 2,843 taxa (342 families and 1275 genera) and representing material from 85 countries (significant representation from the US, Australia, Belize, Ethiopia, Fiji, Nepal, Seychelles, South Africa, Taiwan, Tonga and more, as well as oceanic localities). The collection is 95% georeferenced and has linkages to vouchered specimens as well as over 14,000 Genbank sequences (and vice versa through the NCBI LinkOut system) and over 550 cited publications. These samples are now accessible through the GGBN data portal<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ggbn.org%2Fggbn_portal%2Fstats%2Fdetails%3Fregistry%3DKU%252C%2BLawrence&data=02%7C01%7Cabentley%40ku.edu%7C53fdbb71b3e74c58e9db08d792cd1089%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C1%7C637139281759612789&sdata=85jmJ38nNcOirCVGicYqBdGoh1fwiyAbjsgxaz%2FZUSU%3D&reserved=0>.

Specify 7

Specify 7 is a web implementation of the Specify Consortium biological collections data management platform. Specify 7 server code is open source and available from GitHub. This new generation of Specify combines the interface design components and data management foundation of Specify 6 with the efficiency and ease-of-use of web-based data access and cloud computing. Specify 7 is capable of exporting collections data in the Darwin Core Archive (DwCA) format. This capability expands on the existing Specify 6 functionality by supporting extensions to the core format (for GGBN, media and reference works amongst others) and also circumvents the IPT architecture currently used through Specify 6 data publishing. The Specify Consortium recently updated its data model to include all necessary fields to support GGBN publishing - https://www.sustain.specifysoftware.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Specify-Schema-Update-v2.4-Context.pdf<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sustain.specifysoftware.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F11%2FSpecify-Schema-Update-v2.4-Context.pdf&data=02%7C01%7Cabentley%40ku.edu%7C53fdbb71b3e74c58e9db08d792cd1089%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C1%7C637139281759622785&sdata=kTNHm5xQMAGunN6gjh25ZlKfJjWF9I3DCa%2BOmkCXurM%3D&reserved=0>.

Thanks to the expansions made on Specify 6 by our colleagues at the University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute, users of Specify 7 will be able to publish genetic collections data to GGBN.
