The International Barcode of Life (iBOL) is one of the world's largest biodiversity initiatives, aiming to document global biodiversity through DNA barcoding and develop species monitoring systems using environmental DNA (eDNA) technologies. As an official representative of iBOL, we actively participate in DNA barcoding and eDNA research, contributing to the creation of species databases.

TurkBOL is a national DNA barcoding initiative operating with the aim of genetically documenting Turkey's biodiversity and creating national DNA barcode databases. As the official representative of Turkey within the scope of TurkBOL, we conduct projects aimed at determining the genetic identities of rare and endemic species and bring DNA barcoding studies to international standards.

AgriGenomik Hub, as one of Turkey's most advanced agricultural genome centers in terms of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and genomic analysis, conducts pioneering projects at national and international levels in agricultural biotechnology, genetic resource conservation, and biodiversity research. Using advanced genomic technologies such as high-capacity DNA sequencing, whole genome and transcriptome analyses, metagenomic profiling, and environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses, the center aims to decipher the genetic structure of agricultural ecosystems, support sustainable agricultural practices, and develop environmental genetic monitoring systems.

As eGL, we continue to offer innovative and sustainable solutions in biodiversity monitoring in environmental-agricultural-genome studies by conducting joint projects with AgriGenomik Hub, which we established together. Thanks to this strong research infrastructure, we aim to increase Turkey's scientific capacity in the field of agricultural and environmental genetics and to play an active role in global research networks.

The European Reference Genome Atlas (eRGA) is a prestigious research network aiming to map Europe's genetic diversity using reference genomes. As the Evolutionary Genetics Laboratory, we support the sharing of genetic information on a global scale by contributing to reference genome projects of species representing Turkey's biological resources.

Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE, Association for Biological Genetics and Ecology) represents a prestigious research network bringing together researchers and institutions working on biodiversity genomics across Europe. eGL, in collaboration with BGE, contributes to Europe's biological databases by conducting research within the scope of DNA barcoding, eDNA analysis, genomic diversity, and population genetics projects.

The IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) is one of the world's most prestigious international organizations in the fields of nature conservation, environmental sustainability, and the protection of threatened species. Through our species conservation projects, we conduct ecological monitoring studies and genetic diversity analyses that support the IUCN's conservation goals.

Ankara University, one of Turkey's oldest and most established higher education institutions, forms the institutional framework of the Evolutionary Genetics Laboratory. We strengthen our collaboration in academic research and student education by developing interdisciplinary projects with different faculties within the university.

Akata Fungarium and Mycology Lab is a reputable research laboratory in Turkey specializing in mycology (fungus science), fungal genetics, and biodiversity research. eGL collaborates with Akata Fungarium and Mycology Lab on projects involving the genetic identification of fungal species, DNA barcoding, environmental DNA analysis, and microbial biotechnology.

ASAUM (Ankara University Fisheries Research and Application Center) is one of Turkey's leading research centers in aquaculture genetics, aquatic ecosystem management, and sustainable fisheries. As eGL, we are developing joint aquatic biodiversity monitoring, fish, aquatic mammal and aquatic invertebrate genetics, and ecosystem management projects with ASAUM.

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is an international research program that supports scientific collaborations in Europe. As the Evolutionary Genetics Laboratory, we carry out international collaborations within the scope of COST projects on topics such as biodiversity, DNA barcoding, genetic monitoring, and sustainable agriculture.

IPA (Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance) is a program funded by the European Union to support capacity-building and scientific research projects. At eGL, we collaborate with local and international partners on IPA-funded projects focusing on environmental DNA, biodiversity, and agricultural genome research.

IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) is a global organization that aims to provide policymakers with scientific data on biodiversity and ecosystem services. As eGL, we contribute to IPBES' sustainable development goals with our biodiversity and ecosystem conservation projects.

EkoEvo (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Association) is a national association in Turkey that promotes scientific studies in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology and aims to create networks among researchers. As the Evolutionary Genetics Laboratory, we actively contribute to the association's activities with our ecological genetics, population biology, and environmental DNA projects.

ICPDR/JDS (International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River/Joint Danube Survey) is a commission that conducts international projects for the protection of the Danube River and the sustainable management of its water resources, and it is a pioneer in aquatic ecosystem monitoring and environmental genetic analysis. As eGL, we participate in ICPDR/JDS projects with our aquatic DNA analysis and biodiversity monitoring studies and provide scientific contributions.
