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

open access: yesCell Genomics, 2022
Summary 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.

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.

Comparison of Sociodemographic and Health-Related Characteristics of UK Biobank Participants With Those of the General Population

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Epidemiology, 2017
The UK Biobank cohort is a population-based cohort of 500,000 participants recruited in the United Kingdom (UK) between 2006 and 2010. Approximately 9.2 million individuals aged 40–69 years who lived within 25 miles (40 km) of one of 22 assessment ...

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

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.

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 ...
