Diversity of the Indo-Pacific Network

Diversity of the Indo-Pacific Network The Indo-Pacific is the largest biogeographic region in the world and encompasses the greatest concentration of marine biodiversity.

DIPnet was created to advance genetic diversity research by forming a collaborative network of researchers working in the Indo-Pacific and creating a global database of genetic metadata called GeOMe. Numerous challenges have impeded the development of comprehensive interdisciplinary research programs that consider the region as a whole. Genetic methods can provide insights regarding evolutionary p

rocesses from scales of ocean basins to kilometers and from geologic to modern times. Founded in 2012 the Diversity of the Indo-Pacific Network (DIPnet) was created to advance genetic diversity research in the Indo-Pacific Oceans by aggregating (published) population genetic data into a searchable database so that original datasets can be utilized to address questions concerning conservation of marine biodiversity. It is our aim to promote collaboration and advocate best practices for conducting biodiversity research.

The Genomic Observatories Metadatabase (GeOMe, http://www.geome-db.org/) is an open access repository for geographic and ecological metadata associated with biosamples and genetic data. Whereas public databases have served as vital repositories for nucleotide sequences, they do not accession all the...

Our last day of the workshop Maria Berger brought it all together with conservation planning lessons in Marxan. Thanks so much to all the instructors and participants, and especially Sophie Von der Heyden and the folks at Stellenbosch University, for making DIPnet 2017 a smashing success.
