The DNA Bank Network [1] indexes DNA samples held by several DNA banks — there are more banks not indexed by this system.

There are 224 different mammals so far, but no rhinos.

For plants, the Millennium Seed Bank [2] is collecting and storing seeds with the aim to have all species. They have 13% of plant species so far.
