GRIN has extended its role to manage information on the germplasm reposits of insect (invertebrate), microbial, and animal species (see sub-projects).[2]
The site is a resource for identifying taxonomic information (scientific names) as well as common names[3] on more than 500,000 accessions (distinct varieties, cultivars etc.) of plants covering 10,000 species;[4][5] both economically important ones[3] and wild species. It profiles plants that are invasive or noxious weeds,[3] threatened or endangered,[3] giving out data on worldwide distribution[3] of its habitat; as well as passport information.[6] GRIN also incorporates an Economic Plants Database.[3]
The network is maintained by GRIN's Database Management Unit (GRIN/DBMU).[2] GRIN is under the oversight of National Germplasm Resources Laboratory (NGRL) in Beltsville, Maryland,[6] which in 1990 replaced its forerunner, the Germplasm Services Laboratory (GSL),[2] that had formerly run GRIN.[7] Since November, 2015 GRIN has been running on GRIN-Global software produced by a collaborative project between the USDA and the Global Crop Diversity Trust.[8]
