            Description
            The CNR-IBBR-DNAFOR collection includes more than 2,800 records of cryopreserved DNA and tissue samples of several forest tree species collected during past and current national and EU projects. The aim is to investigate the genetic make-up of their populations and assess their infraspecific biodiversity across Europe, from the biogeographical to the local level.
