THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented July 5, 2018. A national center for biospecimen science and standards to advance cancer research and treatment. It was created in response to the critical and growing need for high-quality, well-documented biospecimens for cancer research. The initiative builds on resources already developed by the NCI, including the Biospecimen Research Network and the NCI Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources, both of which were developed to address challenges around standardization of the collection and dissemination of quality biospecimens. caHUB will develop the infrastructure for collaborative biospecimen research and the production of evidence-based biospecimen standard operating procedures.

Web based transcription factor enrichment analysis. Web server ranks TFs associated with user-submitted gene sets. ChEA3 background database contains collection of gene set libraries generated from multiple sources including TF-gene co-expression from RNA-seq studies, TF-target associations from ChIP-seq experiments, and TF-gene co-occurrence computed from crowd-submitted gene lists. Enrichment results from these distinct sources are integrated to generate composite rank that improves prediction of correct upstream TF compared to ranks produced by individual libraries.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Brain Tumor Research Center Tissue Bank began collecting tissue in 1978 and has established an organized repository of characterized tissues--frozen, paraffin-embedded, blood and cultures--that are maintained in a manner useful for a wide range of studies. Samples are collected only from patients who have agreed to have their tissues banked and used for future research. Consent documents are maintained in a secure area and associated clinical data are held in a double-password protected computer database. Each sample received into the Tissue Bank is non-identifying number. No protected health information (PHI) is released. To obtain samples, investigators submit a request form to the Manager. The request form requires an explanation of the tissue requested (type, number of samples, justification), description of the study, CHR approval (see new policy regarding human vs. non-human research) and Project Leader authorization. The Manager reviews each request for feasibility before presentation to the Scientific Core Committee. The UCSF Neurosurgery Tissue Bank makes its inventory of stock cell lines available to all investigators. Requested cells are grown in T-25 flasks and shipped FedEx Priority Overnight at the receipient's expense. However, if you prefer, we can ship the frozen cells, packed in dry ice. (Note: some countries restrict dry ice shipments.)

https://brd.cancer.gov/

Database to find literature, established protocols, and best practices for collecting, storing, and handling biological samples. Its main purpose is to help researchers improve the quality and reproducibility of biospecimen-based medical and genetic research. Provides a library of validated protocols that laboratories use to properly process human biospecimens (like blood or tissue) without degrading their molecular integrity. Offers procedural guidelines (BEBPs) backed by scientific literature to protect samples from pre-analytical variables (e.g., storage temperature, time-to-freezing). Catalogs thousands of peer-reviewed articles focused on biospecimen science.
