THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. A specialized database for mouse heart and calcium signaling toolkit genes. It contains the functional gene modules pre-calculated from the microarray data compendium using various algorithms for genetic network analyses. The Heart and Calcium functional Network (HCNet) database is a collection of functional gene clusters calculated from microarray data compendium obtained from the Korea Systems Biology Initiative and from the publicly available GEO database. It was designed to assist experimentalists especially in the field of cardiac and calcium signaling research to detect potential network motifs and gene clusters that are functionally related or co-regulated by common transcription factors. Genes of defined numbers are classified into two categories, 1) heart-specific genes and 2) heart-specific genes plus calcium signaling toolkit-genes.

Project to improve data and sample exchanges and to facilitate large scale analysis of data by improving interoperability of French Biological Resources Centres (BRC or biobanks) IT systems and biological databases. The work done in this project will be linked to other national (IBiSA, ANR, R��seau des Biobanques, Club 3C-R), European (BBMRI, ELIXIR) or international project (P3G). In the preliminary phase (2009-2010) I3-CRB has developed a directory of French Biological Resource Centres / Biobanks where one may register their French BRC or perform a search across all of them. Detail by overall data or kingdom is provided as well as many filtering options. Access to biological samples is provided by the participating BRC''''s. Biological Resources Centres (BRC or biobanks) collect annotated biological samples from various sources (human, animal, plant, bacteria...). The type of samples depends on the collection and the associated thematic (DNA, proteins, cells, tissues, blood, serum, organisms...). The aims of these centers are to collect, to store, to transform and to distribute the biological samples. They constitute a vital infrastructure for life science and health research. Goals of the French Biobanks/Biological Resource Centres: * List French biobanks and their biological collections * Improve sample exchanges * Improve the international visibility of the French biological collections MeSH terms have been integrated: Domains, diseases, and location of the disease (Anatomy). Collections/species are based on NCBI Taxonomy.

The HTRN biospecimen bank is comprised of samples for the Ohio State University Cancer and Leukemia Group B Pathology Coordinating Office (CALGB-PCO) and the Ohio State University Midwestern Division of the Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN). The CALGB-PCO banks biospecimens donated by patients enrolled in clinical trials. Samples can include tumor and normal tissue, plasma, serum, whole blood and white blood cells and urine. All of these samples are used later in correlative studies. The Midwestern Division of the CHTN stores a temporary biospecimen bank of tumor and normal tissue, tissue slides and paraffin embedded tissue blocks for research investigators throughout the country and Canada who are trying to find a cure for cancer. As part of the HTRN biospecimen bank, a Rees Scientific equipment monitoring system helps to secure the integrity and quality of samples stored in the biorepository. Scientific research within the HTRN is currently underway to determine the best methods in tissue storage for long term use. The NCI First-Generation Guidelines for NCI-Supported Biorepositories and the NCI Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources are continuously reviewed and adapted by the HTRN.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023. The Case Comprehensive Cancer Center''s Biorepository and Tissue Processing Core Facility (BTPC) serves two primary functions: 1. To build an inventory of remnant human tissues, blood and other body fluids (collectively termed biospecimens) targeted towards cancer and other medical research, for later assignment to investigators; and 2. To provide long term, controlled storage of biospecimens for specific researchers. These samples are for research purposes only and may not be used for clinical diagnosis or implantation into humans. Clinical information relating to the samples and donors are collected and maintained in a secure database. Samples and data are de-identified or de-linked before release to the researcher unless he/she has specific IRB approval to gain access to this information. Remnant biospecimens are prospectively collected from surgical procedures, autopsies and clinical laboratories for the BTPC by the Human Tissue Procurement Facility (HTPF), which operates under UH-IRB Protocol 01-02-45. Blood and bone marrow specimens are collected for the BTPC by the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Core Facility (HSCC), which operates under UH-IRB Protocol 09-90-195. The Division of Surgical Pathology at University Hospitals Case Medical Center (UHCMC) has clinical archives of paraffin blocks that can be made available through the BTPC for retrospective research studies under the approval of the Vice Chair for Clinical Affairs at UHCMC. Surgical Pathologists associated with the BTPC are responsible for determining which blocks can be made available and how much material can be removed from the blocks. Types of Tissue Available * Malignant, benign, diseased, normal and normal human tissues * Normal adjacent tissues available paired with tumor specimens in many cases * Tissues are collected from over 50 anatomic sites * Frozen specimens, OCT-embedded and paraffin-embedded tissues * Large array of paraffin-embedded specimens from clinical archives of paraffin blocks and QC research blocks maintained by the HTPF * Peripheral blood and bone marrow samples from initial visits and follow-up procedures are processed to obtain serum and cell fractions for storage * No samples are collected from individuals with known infectious illnesses * Fetal biospecimens are not collected due to state and local statutes
