Mai 03, 2010 9000 further vertebrate DNA voucher samples: complete Bavarian ichthyofauna available now!
In December 2003 the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology Munich (ZSM) and the Landesfischereiverband Bayern (LfB) initiated a large scale collection program, in order to cover the diversity of Bavarian freshwater fishes. The primary goal of the program was to collect, identify and deposit morphological and genetic voucher specimens of the approximately 100 naturally occurring fish species in all major and many minor drainages in Bavaria and adjacent regions.
Now about 9000 DNA voucher samples covering almost 100% of the Bavarian fish fauna are available on demand.

Sep 30, 2009 Significant mark of 10.000 DNA samples surpassed
Today the significant mark of 10.000 fully documented DNA samples has been surpassed. Thereby, DNA samples of more than 6000 species from 156 different countries are available via the webportal. After launching its searchable database in April 2009 the partners of the DNA Bank Network continuously proceeded in their efforts to deposit DNA samples physically and informatically linked to their respective specimens.
