In general you can use three options to search our data portal:
1. Browse Taxonomy 2. Search by Fields 3. Search by Citation
Browse Taxonomy
The GGBN/DNA Bank Network's data portal makes currently use of the Catalogue of Life (CoL) as its main taxonomic backbone. We match family and genus of original records provided by our partners with the CoL annual checklist (version 2009). Selecting "Browse Taxonomy" leads you to our Taxonomic Backbone site (figure below).
This site gives you an overview on how many samples and taxa are online available for certain higher taxa and genera. By clicking on "Show DNA samples" you will be redirected to a query that gives you all records for selected taxon.
Furthermore you can click on the little plus icon to see the next level of taxa.
