Discover how Embedded Genesys can save you time and money by integrating data from Genesys directly into your website.

Are you a genebank data manager who is looking to publish your genebank’s accession-level data online for users and researchers?

Well, here’s some good news for you. Instead of hosting and maintaining a separate database, paying for a web server and setting up a new domain name, you can use Embedded Genesys to integrate your data from Genesys directly into your institutional website!

For demonstration purposes, we created this web page to demonstrate embedding data of the CIAT and ITC collections from Genesys in a third party website. We also have this short video for you that demonstrates the full potential of Embedded Genesys.

How does this work?

Embedded Genesys is a Javascript library that interacts with Genesys servers and mirrors a given genebank’s data on another website. It includes support for browsing and searching passport data, displaying accession details, maps, subsets and datasets associated with each accession, as well for calculating Passport Data Completeness Index. It even has an  option to handle germplasm requests.

The latest feature added to Embedded Genesys is an update to the Material Request Form as described in this article.

The current release of Embedded Genesys library is available on https://www.npmjs.com/package/@genesys-pgr/ui-embedded. Fore more information, please contact helpdesk@genesys-pgr.com
