Obtaining, Storing and Archiving Specimens and Tissue Samples for Use in Molecular Studies

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Methods and Tools in Biosciences and Medicine ((MTBM))

Abstract

The obvious first step in any systematics or population genetics study is to focus on a group of organisms or a level of interest. We assume that these issues are self-explanatory and the reader is referred to the accompanying volume (EXS 92) for examples of the application of molecular techniques to a wide range of questions and a summary of the problems that can arise during the course of such studies. Equally important in the initial stages of the study are sampling strategy, collection, storage, vouchering and archiving. These last two points are especially critical since no standard protocol currently exists for the disposition of tissue or DNA vouchers to scientifically validate the results of a study. Fortunately, this situation is changing as various museums and research universities establish biorepositories for the long-term storage of genetic resources.
