Genetic Resource Information Network - Canadian Version (GRIN-CA). Canada uses a computerized database management system to assist in handling the massive amounts of data associated with the genetic resources. The data is divided into three basic categories, namely passport, evaluation, and stock management. Researchers can learn about specific characteristics for each accession in the collection. All Nodes interact with the database regularly, entering data, conducting searches and so on. Seed requests can also be made through the database 1, record 2, English, - Genetic%20Resource%20Information%20Network%2DCanadian%20Version

Le Réseau d'information sur les ressources génétiques du Canada (RIRGC/GRIN-CA). Au Canada, on utilise un système de gestion informatisé de base de données pour faciliter la manipulation de l'énorme quantité de données associées aux ressources génétiques. Les données sont divisées en trois catégories de base, soit les passeports, l'évaluation et la gestion des stocks. Les chercheurs peuvent prendre connaissance de caractéristiques spécifiques de chaque spécimen dans la collection. Tous les nœuds utilisent régulièrement la base de données, notamment pour y entrer des données et y faire des recherches. On peut également utiliser la base de données pour commander du matériel génétique. 1, record 2, French, - Le%20R%C3%A9seau%20d%27information%20sur%20les%20ressources%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9tiques%20du%20Canada

Traditionally, livestock keepers willingly shared their animal genetic resources with their neighbours. Many breeds eventually spread beyond the countries and regions where they were first developed. This open exchange of genetic material contributed greatly to the breadth of breed diversity that exists today. 1, record 3, English, - animal%20genetic%20resource

Depuis toujours, les éleveurs partagent volontiers leurs ressources zoogénétiques avec leurs voisins. De nombreuses races ont fini par s'étendre en dehors des pays et des régions où elles ont été obtenues. Cet échange ouvert de matériel génétique a beaucoup contribué à la très grande diversité actuelle des races. 1, record 3, French, - ressource%20zoog%C3%A9n%C3%A9tique
