A biorepository is a place where investigators can deposit and store biological material, in this case samples derived from patients. Moreover, the Genomic Medicine Institute (GMI) takes this basic concept and elevates it to make the Genomic Medicine Biorepository (GMB) a full-service processing and banking laboratory that serves as the foundation for evidence-based research for the GMI, the Cleveland Clinic, and our collaborators. The process relies on a team of multi-disciplinary professionals coordinating their efforts in order to streamline medical research. This begins with dedicated physicians and genetic counselors identifying individuals with specific medical conditions indicating the possibility of genetic involvement. Once identified, biological material (e.g. blood, tissue, or saliva) is collected under the care of the patient''s doctor or by our clinicians and sent to the GMB. Once in the lab, the patient and their samples are assigned a unique identifier (to protect the patient''s personal information) and logged into a central database. This unique identifier accompanies all samples processed and banked for that individual. The specimens are then processed into research-relevant samples using proven laboratory techniques and state-of-the-art quality control practices. These samples include the isolation of DNA and RNA from white blood cells for genetic studies; collection of plasma for proteomic studies; and initiated immortalized cell lines from lymphocytes for in-vitro studies and biochemical research. These cell lines are able to be indefinitely stored in cryogenic suspension and are invaluable as a renewable resource for genetic and biochemical research. The GMB also processes genetic material from various tissues (both fresh and archived). Charis Eng, MD, PhD, Chair and Director of the GMI, has been the faculty oversight person of a human biorepository for the last eight years. Since then, our biorepository has received, cataloged, processed, and banked, in excess of 25,000 specimens. These samples are of numerous tissue types from patients and their family members located all over the world. Our biorepository has managed samples that have resulted in more than 150 original peer reviewed articles and greater than $25 million total direct costs in extramural funding over the last four years alone.

The National Bioscience Database Center (NBDC) intends to integrate all databases for life sciences in Japan, by linking each database with expediency to maximize convenience and make the entire system more user-friendly. We aim to focus our attention on the needs of the users of these databases who have all too often been neglected in the past, rather than the needs of the people tasked with the creation of databases. It is important to note that we will continue to honor the independent integrity of each database that will contribute to our endeavor, as we are fully aware that each database was originally crafted for specific purposes and divergent goals. Services: * Database Catalog - A catalog of life science related databases constructed in Japan that are also available in English. Information such as URL, status of the database site (active vs. inactive), database provider, type of data and subjects of the study are contained for each database record. * Life Science Database Cross Search - A service for simultaneous searching across scattered life-science databases, ranging from molecular data to patents and literature. * Life Science Database Archive - maintains and stores the datasets generated by life scientists in Japan in a long-term and stable state as national public goods. The Archive makes it easier for many people to search datasets by metadata in a unified format, and to access and download the datasets with clear terms of use. * Taxonomy Icon - A collection of icons (illustrations) of biological species that is free to use and distribute. There are more than 200 icons of various species including Bacteria, Fungi, Protista, Plantae and Animalia. * GenLibi (Gene Linker to bibliography) - an integrated database of human, mouse and rat genes that includes automatically integrated gene, protein, polymorphism, pathway, phenotype, ortholog/protein sequence information, and manually curated gene function and gene-related or co-occurred Disease/Phenotype and bibliography information. * Allie - A search service for abbreviations and long forms utilized in life sciences. It provides a solution to the issue that many abbreviations are used in the literature, and polysemous or synonymous abbreviations appear frequently, making it difficult to read and understand scientific papers that are not relevant to the reader's expertise. * inMeXes - A search service for English expressions (multiple words) that appear no less than 10 times in PubMed/MEDLINE titles or abstracts. In addition, you can easily access the sentences where the expression was used or other related information by clicking one of the search results. * HOWDY - (Human Organized Whole genome Database) is a database system for retrieving human genome information from 14 public databases by using official symbols and aliases. The information is daily updated by extracting data automatically from the genetic databases and shown with all data having the identifiers in common and linking to one another. * MDeR (the MetaData Element Repository in life sciences) - a web-based tool designed to let you search, compare and view Data Elements. MDeR is based on the ISO/IEC 11179 Part3 (Registry metamodel and basic attributes). * Human Genome Variation Database - A database for accumulating all kinds of human genome variations detected by various experimental techniques. * MEDALS - A portal site that provides information about databases, analysis tools, and the relevant projects, that were conducted with the financial support from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan.

Strategically located in Suisse Romande, the center is accessible 7J/7J, 365 days / year. The laboratories and technology platforms are tailored to international standards. Service is prompt, courteous, and responsive to your needs. The first opportunity to harvest adult stem cells, which is the only type at Swiss Biobank, occurs just after the birth of a baby. The umbilical cord blood and placenta are rich in hematopoietic stem cells and can regenerate all cells in the bloodstream. The cord and placenta tissues themselves contain mesenchymal cells that can be used for the regeneration of connective tissue. The standardized procedures for collecting cord blood units are made ����??����??by the medical staff of the hospital / clinic according to international standards. The sample is transported by a courier Swiss Medical Biobank in which it is prepared and cryo-preserved by qualified personnel within 24 hours. In the case of public biobanking, cells, tissues, organs are donated and can be used with consent of the donor, a third person for transplantation, or as part of clinical research. The HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) is a group of proteins on the cell surface, and specific to each individual. This allows the immune system to distinguish our own cells for foreign elements (pathogens) that are likely to be attacked. Histocompatibility between the donor and recipient is of primary importance in organ transplantation, tissues and / or cells, to minimize the chances of rejection. There is one chance in four that two siblings have the same HLA code.
