Database to store and display somatic mutation information and related details and contains information relating to human cancers. The mutation data and associated information is extracted from the primary literature. In order to provide a consistent view of the data a histology and tissue ontology has been created and all mutations are mapped to a single version of each gene. The data can be queried by tissue, histology or gene and displayed as a graph, as a table or exported in various formats.
Some key features of COSMIC are:
* Contains information on publications, samples and mutations. Includes samples which have been found to be negative for mutations during screening therefore enabling frequency data to be calculated for mutations in different genes in different cancer types.
* Samples entered include benign neoplasms and other benign proliferations, in situ and invasive tumours, recurrences, metastases and cancer cell lines.

TACMASS collects, preserves, and banks biospecimens obtained from Arizona Cancer Center surgical patients who are seen by University Medical Center surgeons and oncologists. Biospecimens collected at the time of surgery include fresh surgical tissue, blood and urine. Serum, plasma and genomic DNA are harvested from the whole blood. AZCC Members and collaborators may request the use of banked biospecimens through TACMASS. The patient's surgeon or oncologist is responsible for consenting the patient for submission of surgical specimens to the AZCC BioRepository (IRB #06-0609-04, Setsuko Chambers, PI). The surgeon and the Department of Pathology attending physicians and residents are responsible for identifying appropriate tissue for banking that will not compromise pathological diagnosis. Tumor and/or normal adjacent tissue, identified by gross examination, that will not be needed for pathological diagnosis are preserved by fixing in formalin, snap freezing, and/or fixing in RNALater. Histological diagnosis is rendered on each piece of formalin-fixed and snap frozen tissue by Hematoxylin and Eosin staining (H&E). Everyone involved in submitting specimens to the Tumor Bank must maintain a current CITI Certification.

This colony provides a national resource of rhesus monkeys and their tissues to carry out research benefiting the scientific community. The RMBRR maintains a colony of monkeys that have been derived to be specific pathogen free for members of both the herpes and retrovirus families. Over its history, the RMBRR has developed specialized management techniques, housing facilities and highly trained staff to avail these purposefully bred laboratory models, which are 93% genetically identical to humans, to researchers worldwide. Historically, this animal model has been instrumental in research involving blood classification, polio vaccine development, and drug safety and efficacy while currently they are the preferred model for studying the mechanisms of immunodeficiency diseases. Their susceptibility to Simian Immunodeficiency Virus and their homology to the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class I, II and TCR genes make them valuable in HIV research. They are currently the models of choice for HIV/AIDS vaccine development and study. Other areas of research include atherosclerosis, myocarditis, alcoholism, diabetes, cancer and aging. The overall objectives of this resource are to improve the resources available at the RMBRR and to conduct resource-relevant research that improves both the health of the rhesus colony and its usefulness for studies of human disease. The Resource and Management Core is responsible for providing animal resources, tissues/biological fluids, cell lines, expert advice and research support to NIH extramural and intramural programs, other federal agencies and to private sponsors. The Resource-Related Research Core conducts research to improve the health of the animals maintained with special emphasis on studies that will enhance the usefulness of the rhesus as a model for studies of human disease.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 29, 2016. The need to use human neoplastic tissue under ideal conditions is currently of particular importance due to the development molecular pathology techniques that allow large-scale studies of genetic expression that are also of clinical significance. The Tumour Bank Network (TBN), instigated and coordinated by the Molecular Pathology Programme (MMP) aims to respond to this need by the promoting of Tumour Banks in Spanish hospitals. This will be achieved through the application of homogeneous procedures for the collection, processing and storage of neoplastic and normal tissue samples in such a way as to make molecular studies possible, avoiding that avoid the intrinsic bias of multi-centre studies possible. These Hospital Tumour Banks are based within the Pathology Departments of the collaborating Hospitals, that are interconnected through a computer-based network. In this way, each Centre''s tissue remains in the Hospital itself, thereby playing a key role in the development of the welfare, teaching and research activities within the Hospital. At the same time, it represents a tool to encourage of multi-hospital cancer research and of cooperation between basic and clinical researchers, constituting important collaboration between biomedical disciplines. The design does not correspond to a Central Tumour Bank, but that of a cooperative and coordinated Network of Hospital Banks, based on simple, homogeneous and optimal tissue treatment protocols. This Network is promoted by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncologicas (CNIO), which thereby undertakes the work of coordinating the network, using and maintaining the database, adhering to quality control. The aim of the CNIO's TBN is to acquire neoplastic and control non-neoplastic material of all types of malignant neoplasias, in the form of tissue fixed in formalin and paraffin embedded, of samples that are unfixed or frozen according to conventional methods as set out in Annexe 1 and even, exceptionally as fresh tissue. When other types of samples are required to carry out a specific project, the central office of the TBN will draw up a protocol with the group leading the project for the collection and maintenance of the tissue and clinicopathological data required for the proposed research. These protocols will be disseminated among the Associated Hospitals in order to gather the previously agreed number cases. Basic data surrounding the processing and preservation conditions for each case will be sent to the central office of the Bank, which under no circumstances will reveal the identity of the patient. Any Spanish cancer research team will be able to request tissue from the Tissue Bank Network. Absolute priority will be afforded to projects whose principal researcher belongs to one of the Associated Centres of the TNB, to other institutions with special agreements concerning the exchange of samples, and to the CNIO's researchers.
