VariantMaster Resource Report Resource Website |
VariantMaster (RRID:SCR_000569) | VariantMaster | software resource | Software program that extracts causative variants in familial and sporadic genetic diseases. The algorithm takes into account predicted variants (SNPs and indels) in affected individuals or tumor samples and utilizes the row (BAM) data to robustly estimate the conditional probability of segregation in a family, as well as the probability of it being de novo or somatic. In familial cases, various modes of inheritance are considered: X-linked, autosomal dominant, and recessive (homozygosity or compound heterozygosity). Moreover, it integrates phenotypes and genotypes, and employs Annovar to produce additional information as allelic frequencies in general population and damaging scores. | unix/linux, clinical, genetics, high throughput sequencing, monogenic disease, variant, snp, indel |

ExPANdS Resource Report Resource Website 500+ mentions |
ExPANdS (RRID:SCR_005199) | ExPANdS | software resource | Software that characterizes coexisting subpopulations (SPs) in a tumor using copy number and allele frequencies derived from exome- or whole genome sequencing input data. The model amplifies the statistical power to detect coexisting genotypes, by fully exploiting run-specific tradeoffs between depth of coverage and breadth of coverage. ExPANdS predicts the number of clonal expansions, the size of the resulting SPs in the tumor bulk, the mutations specific to each SP and tumor purity. The main function runExPANdS provides the complete functionality needed to predict coexisting SPs from single nucleotide variations (SNVs) and associated copy numbers. The robustness of the subpopulation predictions by ExPANdS increases with the number of mutations provided. It is recommended that at least 200 mutations are used as an input to obtain stable results. | copy number, allele, frequency, exome, whole genome, sequencing, ploidy, subpopulation, genotype, mutation, single nucleotide variation |

SomaticSniper Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
SomaticSniper (RRID:SCR_005108) | SomaticSniper | software resource | Software program to identify single nucleotide positions that are different between tumor and normal (or, in theory, any two bam files). It takes a tumor bam and a normal bam and compares the two to determine the differences. It outputs a file in a format very similar to Samtools consensus format. It uses the genotype likelihood model of MAQ (as implemented in Samtools) and then calculates the probability that the tumor and normal genotypes are different. This probability is reported as a somatic score. The somatic score is the Phred-scaled probability (between 0 to 255) that the Tumor and Normal genotypes are not different where 0 means there is no probability that the genotypes are different and 255 means there is a probability of 1 ? 10(255/-10) that the genotypes are different between tumor and normal. This is consistent with how the SAM format reports such probabilities. It is currently available as source code via github or as a Debian APT package. |

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 |

Chernobyl Tissue Bank Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Chernobyl Tissue Bank (RRID:SCR_010662) | CTB | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | The CTB (Chernobyl Tissue Bank) is an international cooperation that collects, stores and disseminates biological samples from tumors and normal tissues from patients for whom the aetiology of their disease is known - exposure to radioiodine in childhood following the accident at the Chernobyl power plant. The main objective of this project is to provide a research resource for both ongoing and future studies of the health consequences of the Chernobyl accident. It seeks to maximize the amount of information obtained from small pieces of tumor by providing multiple aliquots of RNA and DNA extracted from well documented pathological specimens to a number of researchers world-wide and to conserve this valuable material for future generations of scientists. It exists to promote collaborative, rather than competitive, research on a limited biological resource. Tissue is collected to an approved standard operating procedure (SOP) and is snap frozen; the presence or absence of tumor is verified by frozen section. A representative paraffin block is also obtained for each case. Where appropriate, we also collect fresh and paraffin-embedded tissue from loco-regional metastases. Currently we do not issue tissue but provide extracted nucleic acid, paraffin sections and sections from tissue microarrays from this material. The project is coordinated from Imperial College, London and works with Institutes in the Russian Federation (the Medical Radiological Research Centre in Obninsk) and Ukraine (the Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism in Kiev) to support local scientists and clinicians to manage and run a tissue bank for those patients who have developed thyroid tumors following exposure to radiation from the Chernobyl accident. Belarus was also initially included in the project, but is currently suspended for political reasons. |

In this web site you will find the central European database of OECI-TuBaFrost collecting the information of biobanks or in the project support environment on human material; i.e., frozen tumor tissue specimens, pathology blocks, blood samples in different forms, cell lines, Tissue Micro Arrays, etc. Our goal is by centralizing the tumor tissues information to facilitate the search of doctors / researchers for tumor materials, which they need for their cancer research there with facilitating cancer research. OECI members only can participate in the OECI-TuBaFrost exchange platform, or those introduced by an OECI member. We are a group of pathology and research departments as well as bio-bankers in clinical based biobanking based in comprehensive cancer centers or hospitals with a competence in comprehensive cancer care across Europe. Each participating institute is involved in cancer research resulting in innovative procedures, new drugs, improved diagnosis and new insights in disease development. The overall result is better care and treatment for cancer patients. To maximize the scientific value of the human tissue samples, information about the clinical status of the patient in combination with the quality and type of samples is very important. A TuBaFrost electronic database will securely store all this information. Within the closed project supporting environments, the data collected will include: * Diagnosis - identification of the type of cancer * Type of tissue collected - the origin, i.e. breast, skin, colorectal * Quality of tissue collected - collection and storage details The tissue is stored in the hospital where the donor was diagnosed/treated. It stays there until it is used or sent to another hospital or research center within the TuBaFrost group. The electronic database will track samples throughout the network. The tissue is not sold. The exchange of tissue to other hospitals is regulated by a contract, which uses the national regulations of the country supplying the tissue. Tissue samples within the TuBaFrost collection will only be used for research, which has been approved by ethics committees. This ensures that the tissue is only used for the best quality research and only for the specific reasons given to the ethics committee. | tumor tissue, blood, cell line, tissue, frozen, block, tissue micro array, tumor, cancer, clinical, clinical data |

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 | tissue, blood, body fluid, bone marrow, stem cell, serum, cell fraction, paraffin block, clinical data, malignant tissue, benign tissue, diseased tissue, normal tissue, cancer, control, research, frozen, oct-embedded, paraffin-embedded, tumor, paraffin, oct |

Biobank of Hospital Clinic - IDIBAPS (RRID:SCR_004530) | biomaterial supply resource, material resource, tissue bank | A biobank of repositories which works to obtain, store, manage and distribute large collections of human biological samples of phenotypes and diseases of marked interest for researchers. The biobank sample collection is made up of three extensive repositories. The Neurological Tissue Biobank is a nervous tissue repository (brain and spinal cord) created from donations from cadavers with or without neurological conditions. It helps facilitate research in neurological illnesses. The Tumour Biobank and Anatomical Pathologies Collections is a repository of tumorous tissue and samples from cancer patients. The Blood and Fluid Biobank is a repository which contains samples of metabolic, inflammatory bowel, hepatic, digestive and maternal and foetal diseases, among others. It houses a large range of samples of scientific interest, primarily DNA, serum and plasma. | biobank, neurological, nervous tissue, tumorous tissue, cancer, blood, serum, plasma, dna, standardized biobanking, biomaterial supply resource | is listed by: One Mind Biospecimen Bank Listing | Neurological disease, Alzheimer's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob syndrome, Parkinson's disease, Lewy Body disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, Tumor, Cancer, Metabolic disease, Inflammatory bowel disease, Hepatic disease, Digestive disease, Maternal disease, Fetal disease, Autoimmune Liver disease, Cholestasis, Fragile X syndrome, Genetic mental retardation, Monogenetic dementia, Acute coronary syndrome, Human immunodeficiency virus | Available to the scientific community, Sample requests are reviewed to ensure that the best possible use is made of the samples, Requests are made through an online form, Users will be contacted to go over the terms and conditions for collaboration | nlx_51631 | SCR_004530 | Hospital Clinic Barcelona - IDIBAPS biobank, Biobank of Hospital Clinic Barcelona IDIBAPS | 2026-08-29 11:29:26 | 2 |
