Bioresource Centers: Infrastructure for Biodiversity Conservation, Biotechnology, and Biomedicine
Bioresource Centers (BRCs) are repositories of plant, animal, and microbial species as well as their tissues, cell lines, and genetic information. The uses of BRCs cut across a wide range of fields as scientific resources are made available to research agencies, educational institutions, and the government.
Biodiversity: conservation, authentication, systematics (taxonomy), and collection of plant resources for research and other purposes
Biodiversity: conservation, authentication, systematics (taxonomy), and collection of animal resources for research and other purposes
Biotechnology: use of emerging molecular techniques to develop species (and their products and processes) for agricultural applications and industrial applications
Biobanking: establishment and of, and access to databases of animal, plant, and microbial resources; regulations and laws relevant to access to biological resource, bioprospecting, and benefit sharing
Biodiversity: conservation, authentication, systematics (taxonomy), and collection of plant resources for research and other purposes
Biodiversity: conservation, authentication, systematics (taxonomy), and collection of microorganisms for research and other purposes
Biotechnology: use of emerging molecular techniques to develop species (and their products and processes) for agricultural applications and industrial applications
