Abstract
This article describes the unified, centralized Bioresource Collection (BRC) of genetic material from modern wild
mammalian species of Northeastern Russia. This BRC was established at the Institute of Biological Problems of the
Cryolithozone of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences by consolidating local collections into a single, systematized repository comprising primary biological materials, DNA samples, and associated databases for various species. The BRC currently contains approximately 5,000 items representing 45 wild mammal species out of the 70 species native to the region. Additionally, the collection includes samples of wolf-dog hybrids. This unified BRC serves as a comprehensive resource for molecular genetic studies aimed at genetic identification, clarification of systematic affiliations, and the construction of evolutionary frameworks.
Supporting agencies: This study was conducted within the framework of the state assignments from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, specifically under the project titled “Populations and communities of animals of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems of the Cryolithozone in the Eastern Sector of the Russian Arctic and Subarctic: di versity, structure and sustainability under natural and anthropogenic influences” (No. 121020500194-9). Additionally, it was supported by the project “Study and development of biological (bioresource) collections as a basis for the con servation of biodiversity in North-Eastern Asia” (No. 125102712105) using the equipment from the Core Shared Re search Facilities of the Federal Research Centre “The Yakut Scientific Centre of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences” (grant No. 13.CSRF.21.0016).
