Sheldon, Frederick H. (2001) Molecular collections for basic research: museums, methods, and morality. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Many museums have established genetic resource collections (GRC's). These are collections of preserved tissues, blood, and molecular extracts (e.g., proteins and nucleic acids) that are intended for non-profit research in such fields as evolution, ecology, conservation, wildlife management, toxicology, epidemiology, and forensics. In establishing these collections, museums fulfill a moral imperative to conserve ex-situ as much information as possible about the genetic diversity in our world before it disappears. They also assume the responsibility to make this information accessible to the international, non-profit, research community.
