Genebank to GenBank (G2G) links information on genomic resources of crop plants
available in the GenBank with associated plant genetic resources belonging to
244
(ISO Alpha-3 Code) countries conserved in
289
genebanks located in
88
countries around the world. G2G presents an interactive interface to connect GenBank
depositions—of
7,114
whole genome sequences,
1,46,85,223
nucleotide sequences and
21,09,472
protein sequences of
4,096
cultivars/ genotypes/ landraces belonging to
148
crop species—to genebanks from where the seeds/propagules can be accessed legitimately
as per extant national and international regulatory framework. The motto of G2G
is to present a common platform to access seekers as well as access providers to
enhance utilization of germplasm and associated knowledge. G2G is expected to help
genebanks track the genetic resources used in generating genomic resources and to
facilitate benefit sharing in case of commercial use, without compromising on the
ease of access and use by researchers. G2G is complete with map of genebanks, crop
species wise inventory of germplasm, hosting institution, genomic information and
taxonomy.
