Windber Tissue Bank (RRID:SCR_000509) | WRI Tissue Bank | biomaterial supply resource, tissue bank, material resource | Under the direction of Stella Somiari, Ph.D., the tissue bank at Windber Research Institute acquires and banks large numbers of high quality and well annotated normal and diseased tissue specimens. These specimens are obtained from fully informed and consented donors using Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved protocols and are accompanied by detailed clinical, family history and demographic information. The tissue bank has established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for tissue acquisition, handling, processing, packaging and shipping. All collaborators at participating clinics/medical centers utilize these procedures to ensure that the integrity of the specimen is maintained. Tissue types in our collection include plasma, serum, tissue embedded in optimum cutting temperature (OCT), formalin fixed paraffin embedded, and flash frozen. We also isolate and bank tissue derived products such as DNA, RNA and protein for research. Very stringent SOPs are in place for the process of extraction of these tissue-derived products and for quality control/quality assurance (QA/QC). The WRI tissue bank currently has 5 isothermal freezers each with the capacity to store 36,000 specimens. For all specimens obtained from surgical procedures, routine histology is performed to obtain representative Hematoxylin and Eosin (H & E) stained sections for imaging/archiving. All H & E sections are imaged on the Trestle SL-50 imaging system and these images are available online to designated collaborative sites. A certified pathologist verifies all tissue specimens and WRI has telepathology capabilities, which can also be utilized for pathology verification when a second pathologist opinion is required to confirm specimen diagnosis. Other uses of the telepathology capabilities include the verification of Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) sections (by pathologist) to ensure the correct areas are captured for research. The telepathology system at WRI is the Trestle Corporation's Medmicro system, which permits the pathologist to remotely view, navigate and share images at sub-micron resolution over standard internet connections in real-time. | specimen, clinical data, family history, demographic data, tissue, plasma, serum, dna, rna, protein, optimum cutting temperature, formalin fixed paraffin embedded, frozen, normal, disease |

Trinity Biobank Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Trinity Biobank (RRID:SCR_013279) | Trinity Biobank | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | The Trinity Biobank was established in 2005 to serve the needs of researchers in the area of genetic epidemiology, population genetics and pharmacogenomics. Its services are available to researchers not only in Trinity College but to other institutions at home and abroad. We provide an automated DNA extraction service purifying large volumes blood (up to 10mL whole blood) and tissue DNA for archival and other purposes. In addition it makes available purified DNA and associated GWAS data from 2000 healthy donors for research use. A key requirement for reliable downstream use of DNA is purity and strand size. The quality of DNA in blood and tissue deteriorates upon storage without purification even at -80 degrees C. We ensure rapid turnaround of biological samples through automated extraction using the Qiagen Autopure system based on optimized ''salting out'' chemistry. The purified DNA sample may then be stored safely at -20 degrees C without deterioration thus freeing up valuable -80 degree C freezer space and the associated capital and maintenance cost as well as security and lab space provision. Automated DNA extraction is particularly suitable for high-throughput sample processing called for in epidemiological studies or simply for clearing sample inventory backlogs. The Trinity Biobank distributes control DNA to researchers as part of its remit to enhance the level of research activity and to synergize molecular medicine research nationally and internationally. The buffy coat collection has been made possible with the cooperation of the Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS). An important requirement to access the collection is that the use of the samples relates only to ethically-approved research and to specifically-nominated research projects. The DNA collection consists of high quality human genomic DNA. Each of the available 2,000 samples is from a single individual and each sample comes with the age and gender data of the donor. The buffy coat sample is derived from the total white cell compliment (50mL buffy coat) of a blood donation (c 400mL). We will endeavor to fulfill samples number requests based on age and gender as best as possible. This collection has also been genotyped using the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0, featuring 1.8 million genetic markers, including more than 906,600 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and more than 946,000 probes for the detection of copy number variation (CNV). The DNA comes available as a 100ng/uL in 100uL of TE Buffer, ie in 10ug amounts in a separate screw-cap ampoule. The ampoules are shipped in 100-tube boxes (Sarstedt). Corresponding plasma (ACD) is also available on request. Genotype data is supplied in PLINK binary PED files format (http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/~purcell/plink/ ). | dna, blood, tissue, buffy coat, cell, packed cell, cultured cell, buccal cell, whole blood, bodily fluid, fresh, frozen, healthy, normal, genetic epidemiology, population genetics, pharmacogenomics, gene, genetics, genome-wide association study, genome-wide association study data, genotype, dna extraction, non-mammalian, bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria |

UMKC Neuroscience Brain Tissue Bank and Research Laboratory (RRID:SCR_005148) | UMKC Brain Tissue Bank | biomaterial supply resource, material resource, tissue bank, brain bank | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 31, 2016. The UMKC Neuroscience Brain Tissue Bank and Research Laboratory has been established to obtain, process, and distribute human brain tissue to qualified scientists and clinicians dedicated to neuroscience research. No other living organ approaches the human brain in complexity or capacity. Healthy, it astounds and inspires miracles. Diseased, it confounds and diminishes hope. The use of human brain tissue for research will provide insight into the anatomical and neurochemical aspects of diseased and non-diseased brains. While animal models are helpful and necessary in understanding disease, certain disorders can be more efficiently studied using human brain tissue. Also, modern research techniques are often best applied to human tissue. We also need samples of brain tissue that have not been affected by disease. They help us to compare a 'normal' brain with a diseased one. Also, we have a critical need for brain donations from relatives who have genetically inherited disorders. Tissue preparation consists of fresh quick-frozen tissue blocks or coronal slices (nitrogen vapor frozen; custom dissection of specific anatomic regions) or formalin-fixed coronal slices (custom dissection of specific anatomic regions). | brain tissue, brain, tissue, fresh quick-frozen, block, nitrogen vapor frozen, frozen, formalin-fixed, disease, normal, genetically inherited disorder, normal control, matched control, neuroscience, post-mortem, coronal slice |

MINC/Atlases (RRID:SCR_005281) | MINC/Atlases | reference atlas, data or information resource, wiki, atlas, narrative resource | A linear average model atlas produced by the International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM) project. A set of full- brain volumetric images from a normative population specifically for the purposes of generating a model were collected by the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), UCLA, and University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Research Imaging Center (RIC). 152 new subjects were scanned using T1, T2 and PD sequences using a specific protocol. These images were acquired at a higher resolution than the original average 305 data and exhibit improved contrast due predominately to advances in imaging technology. Each individual was linearly registered to the average 305 and a new model was formed. In total, three models were created at the MNI, the ICBM152_T1, ICBM152_T2 and ICBM152_PD from 152 normal subjects. This resulting model is now known as the ICBM152 (although the model itself has not been published). One advantage of this model is that it exhibits better contrast and better definition of the top of the brain and the bottom of the cerebellum due to the increased coverage during acquisition. The entirely automatic analysis pipeline of this data also included grey/white matter segmentation via spatial priors. The averaged results of these segmentations formed the first MNI parametric maps of grey and white matter. The maps were never made publicly available in isolation but have formed parts of other packages for some time including SPM, FSL AIR and as models of grey matter for EEG source location in VARETTA and BRAINWAVE. Again, as these models are an approximation of Talairach space, there are differences in varying areas, to continue our use of origin shift as an example, the ICBM models are approximately 152: +3.5mm in Z and +-co-ordinate -3.5mm and 2.0mm in Y as compared to the original Talairach origin. In addition to the standard analysis performed on the ICBM data, 64 of the subjects data were segmented using model based segmentation. 64 of the original 305 were manually outlined and a resulting parametric VOI atlas built. The native data from these acquisitions was 256x256 with 1mm slices. The final image resolution of this data was 181x217x181 with 1mm isotropic voxels. Refer to the ICBM152 NonLinear if you are fitting an individual to model and do not care about left/right comparisons. A short history of the various atlases that have been produced at the BIC (McConnell Brain Imaging Center, Montreal Neurological Institute) is provided. | atlas, brain, template, human, magnetic resonance imaging |

Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources Research Infrastructure (BBMRI) Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources Research Infrastructure (BBMRI) (RRID:SCR_004226) | BBMRI | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | BBMRI is a pan-European and internationally broadly accessible research infrastructure and a network of existing and de novo biobanks and biomolecular resources. The infrastructure will include samples from patients and healthy persons, representing different European populations (with links to epidemiological and health care information), molecular genomic resources and biocomputational tools to optimally exploit this resource for global biomedical research. During the past 3 years BBMRI has grown into a 53-member consortium with over 280 associated organizations (largely biobanks) from over 30 countries, making it the largest research infrastructure project in Europe. During the preparatory phase the concept of a functional pan-European biobank was formulated and has now been presented to Member States of the European Union and for associated states for approval and funding. BBMRI will form an interface between specimens and data (from patients and European populations) and top-level biological and medical research. This can only be achieved through a distributed research infrastructure with operational units in all participating Member States. BBMRI will be implemented under the ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) legal entity. BBMRI-ERIC foresees headquarters (central coordination) in Graz, Austria, responsible for coordination of the activities of National Nodes established in participating countries. BBMRI is in the process of submitting its application to the European Commission for a legal status under the ERIC regulation, with an expected start date at the end of 2011. Major synergism, gain of statistical power and economy of scale will be achieved by interlinking, standardizing and harmonizing - sometimes even just cross-referencing - a large variety of well-qualified, up-to date, existing and de novo national resources. The network should cover (1) major European biobanks with blood, serum, tissue or other biological samples, (2) molecular methods resource centers for human and model organisms of biomedical relevance, (3) and biocomputing centers to ensure that databases of samples in the repositories are dynamically linked to existing databases and to scientific literature as well as to statistical expertise.
