BiOME : Biodiversity and Occurrences for Molecular Ecology

BiOME is a self-hostable platform (specifically a LIMS) for managing and analyzing taxonomic occurrence data supporting research in ecology and biodiversity.

In ecology, an occurrence is defined as the reported presence of a specific taxon in one location, at a specific time. Generating occurrences typically involves sampling specimens on the field and sorting the specimen by assigning them a taxonomic identification, either using morphological criteria or molecular barcoding.
