The GRIN-Global Project
The GRIN-Global project's mission is to provide a scalable version of the Germplasm Resource Information Network suitable for use by any interested genebank in the world. The GRIN-Global database platform has been implemented at various genebanks around the world. For more information about GRIN-Global, review this website's pages .
The first version, 1.0.7, was released in December, 2011 in a joint effort by the Global Crop Diversity Trust, Bioversity International, and the USDA Agricultural Research Service.
