While many of the challenges and solutions we discuss are broadly relevant, our regulatory and logistical examples are primarily from Europe. By synthesising practical guidance, we highlight the crucial importance of taxonomic expertise, proper vouchering and biobanking, rigorous cold-chain management or alternative preservation methods, and emphasise adherence to packaging and shipping requirements for biological materials. We showcase examples spanning diverse regions, taxa and source materials, which underscore the importance of context-specific strategies and internationally harmonised protocols, particularly for metadata reporting. Our recommendations aim to support both small-scale projects and large initiatives, directing collective efforts to facilitate efficient sampling, vouchering and sample processing for future genomic studies.
