plasmids, DNA probes, plant cells and viruses, phages.
The CABRI search engine is based on SRS and allow for an integrated
search on all the catalogues of a unique organism type.

a pre-order notification to the collections.
Quality management guidelines are also available in the CABRI site.
Best regards. Paolo Romano
