The TCD DNA Bank was established in the Department of Botany, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland in 1998 and linked with the Department's Herbarium, Botanic Garden and Seed Bank to become part of an integrated system for biodiversity evaluation. It contains almost 3000 accessions of DNA from a wide range of higher plant families (summary of collection as of August 2001).

DNAs are typically stored in TE buffer and kept frozen at -80°C. Most DNAs have associated vouchers (herbarium specimens). The collection will soon be made available for scientific research purposes (all requests for DNA should be made to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The TCD DNA Bank is managed by Dr. Trevor Hodkinson and is situated in the Department of Botany, Molecular Systematics Laboratory.
