Methods for the circulation of information

The UMR BIOGECO 1202 focuses its research programme on the analysis of the structure, function and evolution of biodiversity at different scales of life (from genes to communities of organisms) with a view to the sustainable management of resources and environments. This unit is located in Cestas (33610), 69 Route d'Arcachon.

The UMR BIOGECO provides several information systems, including the Quercus and Pinus portals, which are accessible online and open to the public. These two information systems are dedicated to genetic and genomic resources for these two genus, and offer access to several distinct databases. The data integrated in these various databases are submitted to the administrator, either directly online or by e-mail. In both cases (integration of data and metadata of forest devices, genotypes, phenotypes, plant material), the personal data collected related to the persons submitting their data are recorded and processed in a "Partners" file, on the NAS synology of the unit. These partners also have the possibility to create an account to authenticate themselves on the access portals to certain databases. This file allows us to manage and track all the personal information recorded.

The data collected

  • are stored in the database administrator's mailboxes, during mail exchanges to ensure proper follow-up of the integration request with the partner, but also between UMR BIOGECO members.
  • are stored in .xlsx format on the workstation of the database administrator, and also on a secure unit NAS
  • are stored in the databases of the unit's portals and information systems, including the Quercus and Pinus portals
  • Only for biological samples: stored in a dedicated sample database, allowing the management of the storage of biological material, the management of documents related to the deposit. Concerns only the data of the INRAE agents of the UMR BIOGECO.

Types of stored data
