SUPPORT THE OCEAN GENOME LEGACY CENTER

Ocean Genome Legacy Endowed Fund

The endowed fund will allow Ocean Genome Legacy to protect our oceans’ biodiversity in perpetuity. Located within the Marine Science Center, OGL is dedicated to creating a global biobank housing the DNA blueprints (genomes) of a broad cross-section of marine species.

At Ocean Genome Legacy, we are dedicated to providing the best genomic data available to our users. We strive to follow current Best Practices in acquiring and maintaining our collection of biological specimens. We adhere strictly to all relevant permitting for collection by region and species. We maintain accurate, detailed records of the specimens we receive, preserve them using state-of-the-art techniques, and perform rigorous quality control on all extractions.

In order to help assure the quality, accuracy and compliance of our collection, we ask that depositors read and adhere to our policies and practices.

Reference Citations
For all publications concerning materials (or data derived from materials) distributed by Ocean Genome Legacy (OGL), whether tissue, genomic DNA, tissue products or associated data, an appropriate citation must be made of the material and/or data source. The proper format for such reference citation is:

“Ocean Genome Legacy Genomic Resource Collection. Northeastern University. https://arctos.database.museum/guid/OGL:Genomic:[accession number(s)].”

Communication of Citations
OGL requests that all researchers citing OGL and/or OGL materials and/or OGL data in their publications inform OGL of such publications and citations by sending an e-mail with the relevant information. This will help OGL measure the effective utilization of our biorepository, and will allow us to direct other researchers to your work.

The Ocean Genome Legacy Biorepository at Northeastern University can offer researchers:

1. Assistance and advice in formulating and drafting sample management plans for grant submissions. Boiler plate language for proposals can be found here.

2. A compliant, secure, and publicly accessible biorepository for your samples and associated metadata.

3. Submission of your sample metadata to public data aggregators/servers (GBIF, OBIS, and GGBN).

4. Continued access to your samples after submission and the ability to temporarily embargo sample and data distribution to accommodate your research and publication plans.
