The NSABP (National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project) Tissue Bank is the central repository of tissue samples (stained and unstained slides, tissue blocks, and frozen tissue specimens) collected from clinical trials conducted by the NSABP. The main scientific aim of the NSABP Division of Pathology is to develop clinical context-specific prognostic markers and predictive markers that predict response to or benefit from specific therapeutic modality. To achieve this aim, the laboratory collects the tumor and adjacent normal tissues from cancer patients enrolled into the NSABP trials through its membership institutions, and maintain these valuable materials with clinical follow-up information and distribute them to qualified approved investigators. Currently, specimens from more than 90,000 cases of breast and colon cancer are stored and maintained at the bank. Paraffin embedded tumor specimens are available from NSABP trials. We currently do not bank frozen tissues. All blocks are from patients enrolled in prospective NSABP treatment protocols and complete clinical follow up information as well as demographic information is available. Depending on the project, unstained tissue sections of 4-micrometer thickness, tissue microarrays, or stained slides are provided to the investigators in a blinded study format. Any investigators with novel projects that conform to the research goals of NSABP may apply for the tissue. Please refer to the NSABP Tissue Bank Policy to determine if your project conforms to these goals. Priority is given to NSABP membership institutions who regularly submit tissue blocks.

Protege is a free, open-source platform that provides a growing user community with a suite of tools to construct domain models and knowledge-based applications with ontologies. At its core, Protege implements a rich set of knowledge-modeling structures and actions that support the creation, visualization, and manipulation of ontologies in various representation formats. Protege can be customized to provide domain-friendly support for creating knowledge models and entering data. Further, Protege can be extended by way of a plug-in architecture and a Java-based Application Programming Interface (API) for building knowledge-based tools and applications. An ontology describes the concepts and relationships that are important in a particular domain, providing a vocabulary for that domain as well as a computerized specification of the meaning of terms used in the vocabulary. Ontologies range from taxonomies and classifications, database schemas, to fully axiomatized theories. In recent years, ontologies have been adopted in many business and scientific communities as a way to share, reuse and process domain knowledge. Ontologies are now central to many applications such as scientific knowledge portals, information management and integration systems, electronic commerce, and semantic web services. The Protege platform supports two main ways of modeling ontologies: * The Protege-Frames editor enables users to build and populate ontologies that are frame-based, in accordance with the Open Knowledge Base Connectivity protocol (OKBC). In this model, an ontology consists of a set of classes organized in a subsumption hierarchy to represent a domain's salient concepts, a set of slots associated to classes to describe their properties and relationships, and a set of instances of those classes - individual exemplars of the concepts that hold specific values for their properties. * The Protege-OWL editor enables users to build ontologies for the Semantic Web, in particular in the W3C's Web Ontology Language (OWL). An OWL ontology may include descriptions of classes, properties and their instances. Given such an ontology, the OWL formal semantics specifies how to derive its logical consequences, i.e. facts not literally present in the ontology, but entailed by the semantics. These entailments may be based on a single document or multiple distributed documents that have been combined using defined OWL mechanisms (see the OWL Web Ontology Language Guide). Protege is based on Java, is extensible, and provides a plug-and-play environment that makes it a flexible base for rapid prototyping and application development.
