The "Noah's Ark" project, afoot at M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University since 2015 and aimed at studying biodiversity, is the largest ongoing Russian project in life sciences. During its implementation, several hundred new species have been described; a comprehensive genetic and biochemical characterization of these species, as well as that of the pre-existing specimens in Moscow University's collections, has been performed. A consolidated IT system intended to house the knowledge generated by the project has been developed. Here, we summarize the investigations around the Moscow University classical biocollections which have taken place within the framework of the project and discuss future promise and the outlook for these collections.
“诺亚方舟”项目自2015年起在莫斯科国立罗蒙诺索夫大学开展,旨在研究生物多样性,是俄罗斯目前最大的生命科学项目。在项目实施过程中,已描述了数百个新物种;对这些物种以及莫斯科大学馆藏中原有标本进行了全面的基因和生化特征分析。还开发了一个综合信息技术系统,用于存储该项目产生的知识。在此,我们总结了在该项目框架内围绕莫斯科大学经典生物标本馆所开展的研究,并讨论了这些标本馆未来的前景和展望。
