Framingham Heart Study Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
Framingham Heart Study (RRID:SCR_008963) | FHS | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | A longitudinal, epidemiologic study to identify the common risk factors or characteristics that contribute to cardiovascular disease by following its development over a long period of time in a large group of participants who had not yet developed overt symptoms or suffered a heart attack or stroke. Since that time the FHS has studied three generations of participants resulting in biological specimens and data from nearly 15,000 participants. Since 1994, two groups from minority populations, including related individuals have been added to the FHS. FHS welcomes proposals from outside investigators for data and biospecimens. The researchers recruited 5,209 men and women between the ages of 30 and 62 from the town of Framingham, Massachusetts, and began the first round of extensive physical examinations and lifestyle interviews that they would later analyze for common patterns related to CVD development. Since 1948, the subjects have continued to return to the study every two years for a detailed medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests, and in 1971, the Study enrolled a second generation - 5,124 of the original participants'''' adult children and their spouses - to participate in similar examinations. In 1994, the need to establish a new study reflecting a more diverse community of Framingham was recognized, and the first Omni cohort of the Framingham Heart Study was enrolled. In April 2002 the Study entered a new phase, the enrollment of a third generation of participants, the grandchildren of the Original Cohort. In 2003, a second group of Omni participants was enrolled. Over the years, careful monitoring of the Framingham Study population has led to the identification of major CVD risk factors, as well as valuable information on the effects of these factors such as blood pressure, blood triglyceride and cholesterol levels, age, gender, and psychosocial issues. Risk factors for other physiological conditions such as dementia have been and continue to be investigated. In addition, the relationships between physical traits and genetic patterns are being studied. FHS clinical and research data is stored in the dbGaP and NHLBI Repository repositories and may be accessed by application. Please check the following repositories before applying for data through FHS. Investigators seeking data that is not available through dbGaP or BioLINCC or seeking biological specimens may submit a proposal through the FHS web-based research application. The FHS data repository may be accessed through this FHS website, under the For Researchers link, then Description of Data, in order to determine if and how the desired data is stored. Proposals may involve the use of existing data, the collection of new data, either directly from participants or from previously collected samples, images, or other materials (e.g., medical records). The FHS Repository also has biological specimens available for genetic and non-genetic research proposals. Specimens include urine, blood and blood products, as well as DNA. | clinical study, longitudinal study, heart, cardiac, adult human, male, female, risk factor, blood pressure, blood triglyceride, cholesterol level, age, gender, psychosocial, dementia, physical trait, genetic trait, minority, clinical, genotype, phenotype, urine, blood, blood product, dna, FASEB list |

UCL Biobank Resource Report Resource Website |
UCL Biobank (RRID:SCR_000517) | UCL Biobank | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | Two University College London (UCL) biobanks, one based at the Royal Free Hospital (RFH) Campus and the other based at Bloomsbury supporting Pathology and the Cancer Institute, will act as physical repositories for collections of biological samples and data from patients consented at UCLH, Partners Hospitals and external sources. This will incorporate collections of existing stored samples and new collections. UCL-RFH BioBank, the physical repository at the Royal Free, presents a unique opportunity to advance medical research through making access to research tissue easier, faster and much more efficient. The BioBank is both a physical repository, with capacity for up to 1 million cryogenically stored samples and a virtual repository for all tissue, cell, plasma, serum, DNA and RNA samples stored throughout UCLP. In particular, samples considered "relevant material", such as tissues and cells, that are licensed by the Human Tissue Authority, can be stored long term. Existing holdings of tissues and cells where appropriate can be transferred to the Physical BioBank at the Royal Free. UCL - Royal Free BioBank provides a flexible approach to banking, allowing the Depositor to pick and choose services that are tailored to fit their requirements. Collaborations arising from publicizing of the existence of the holdings are entirely at the discretion of the depositor, as the facility ensures that access to the deposits remains at the decision of the Depositor/User. UCL Biobank for studying Health and Disease (based at Pathology-Rockefeller building and the UCL-Cancer Institute will support projects principally involved in the study of human disease. The aim is to support primarily, research in the Pathology Department, UCLH and the UCL-Cancer Institute but it will also support other UCLH partners. The biobank will store normal and pathological specimens, surplus to diagnostic requirements, from relevant tissues and bodily fluids. Stored tissues will include; snap-frozen or cryopreserved tissue, formalin-fixed tissue, paraffin-embedded tissues, and slides prepared for histological examination. Tissues will include resection specimens obtained surgically or by needle core biopsy. Bodily fluids will include; whole blood, serum, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, milk, saliva and buccal smears and cytological specimens such as sputum and cervical smears. Fine needle aspirates obtained from tissues and bodily cavities (e.g. pleura and peritoneum) will also be collected. Where appropriate the biobank will also store separated cells, protein, DNA and RNA isolated from collected tissues and bodily fluids described above. Some of the tissue and aspirated samples will be stored in the diagnostic archive. | tissue, cell, plasma, serum, dna, rna, blood, serum, plasma, urine, cerebral spinal fluid, milk, saliva, buccal smear, sputum, cervical smear, pleura, peritoneum, protein, body fluid, cryopreserved, frozen, snap-frozen, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, slide, cancer, disease, normal |

The Cancer Genome Atlas Resource Report Resource Website 5000+ mentions |
The Cancer Genome Atlas (RRID:SCR_003193) | TCGA | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | Project exploring the spectrum of genomic changes involved in more than 20 types of human cancer that provides a platform for researchers to search, download, and analyze data sets generated. As a pilot project it confirmed that an atlas of changes could be created for specific cancer types. It also showed that a national network of research and technology teams working on distinct but related projects could pool the results of their efforts, create an economy of scale and develop an infrastructure for making the data publicly accessible. Its success committed resources to collect and characterize more than 20 additional tumor types. Components of the TCGA Research Network: * Biospecimen Core Resource (BCR); Tissue samples are carefully cataloged, processed, checked for quality and stored, complete with important medical information about the patient. * Genome Characterization Centers (GCCs); Several technologies will be used to analyze genomic changes involved in cancer. The genomic changes that are identified will be further studied by the Genome Sequencing Centers. * Genome Sequencing Centers (GSCs); High-throughput Genome Sequencing Centers will identify the changes in DNA sequences that are associated with specific types of cancer. * Proteome Characterization Centers (PCCs); The centers, a component of NCI's Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium, will ascertain and analyze the total proteomic content of a subset of TCGA samples. * Data Coordinating Center (DCC); The information that is generated by TCGA will be centrally managed at the DCC and entered into the TCGA Data Portal and Cancer Genomics Hub as it becomes available. Centralization of data facilitates data transfer between the network and the research community, and makes data analysis more efficient. The DCC manages the TCGA Data Portal. * Cancer Genomics Hub (CGHub); Lower level sequence data will be deposited into a secure repository. This database stores cancer genome sequences and alignments. * Genome Data Analysis Centers (GDACs) - Immense amounts of data from array and second-generation sequencing technologies must be integrated across thousands of samples. These centers will provide novel informatics tools to the entire research community to facilitate broader use of TCGA data. TCGA is actively developing a network of collaborators who are able to provide samples that are collected retrospectively (tissues that had already been collected and stored) or prospectively (tissues that will be collected in the future). | genome, genome sequencing, breast, central nervous system, endocrine, gastrointestinal, gynecologic, head, neck, hematologic, skin, soft tissue, thoracic, urologic, clinical, genomic characterization, analysis, tumor genome, demographic, gene expression, copy number alteration, epigenetic, dna sequence, exome, snp, methylation, mrna, mirna, FASEB list |
