Analysis across Taiwan Biobank, Biobank Japan, and UK Biobank identifies hundreds of novel loci for 36 quantitative traits

open access: yesCell Genomics, 2023
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified tens of thousands of genetic loci associated with human complex traits. However, the majority of GWASs were conducted in individuals of European ancestries.

Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative: Powering genetic discovery across human disease [PDF]

open access: yesCell Genomics, 2022
Biobanks facilitate genome-wide association studies (GWASs), which have mapped genomic loci across a range of human diseases and traits. However, most biobanks are primarily composed of individuals of European ancestry.

Biobanking

Molecular Biotechnology, 2008
Biobanks, more formally known as biological resource centers (BRCs), form an "unsung" yet critical component of the infrastructures for scientific research, industry and conservation, without which much of the current scientific activity involving microbial cultures and cell-lines would be effectively impossible.

Sustainability in Biobanking: Model of Biobank Graz

Biopreservation and Biobanking, 2015
Research infrastructures remain the key for state-of-the-art and successful research. In the last few decades, biobanks have become increasingly important in this field through standardization of biospecimen processing, sample storage, and standardized data management. Research infrastructure in cohort studies and other sample collection activities are

Biobanks and biobank harmonisation

2017
Over the past decade and a half, genetic epidemiology has experienced an important shift from family-based studies of genetic linkage to individual-based studies of genetic association (Chapters One-Four). In part, this follows the recognition that if the 'common disease, common variant hypothesis'1-5 is true for at least a proportion of important ...

Defining Biobank

Biopreservation and Biobanking, 2013
The term “biobank” first appeared in the scientific literature in 1996 and for the next five years was used mainly to describe human population-based biobanks. In recent years, the term has been used in a more general sense and there are currently many different definitions to be found in reports, guidelines and regulatory documents.

Biobanking for epidemiology

Public Health, 2012
Biobanks are a key resource in unravelling the association between genetic background, lifestyle and environmental determinants of the incidence, natural course and treatment response for various complex diseases and health traits. Biobanks are goldmines for epidemiological research, provided that they are set up properly, enable multicentre ...

Nursing and Biobanking

2015
Nurses are a pivotal component of the translational research movement and apply scientific discoveries to the healthcare and clinical practice fields. Biobanking is also an important factor in furthering translational research by providing biospecimens and related clinical data to the research community.
