THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 1, 2023. Asterand, Inc., the Detroit-based supplier of human tissue products and services, announces the distribution of eleven breast cancer cell lines, derived at the University of Michigan. The University has agreed to license the marketing of the breast cancer cell lines, known as the SUM lines, through Asterand in an effort to provide an exceptional tool to a broad base of researchers studying the disease. There are an estimated 1.2 million new diagnoses worldwide of breast cancer each year. The cell lines can be used to study all aspects of breast cancer biology, from new drug target identification to cell signaling to effects of novel drugs on cellular proliferation.

Software program that detects the precise break points of Copy number variations (CNVs) through a fuzzy string matching algorithm using both CIGAR and POS information. In case the two break points of a CNV are in repeated regions and the break points are not unique, it reports the range where the break points can slide.

The Biorepository was designed to collect, process, and distribute large numbers of high quality research specimens quickly and efficiently. The data that is collected is primarily human DNA from whole blood along with other human specimen types. The data are collected, processed, stored and later distributed to support a large number of research studies. Biobanking of other specimen types include cells, RNA, serum, plasma and tissue. The Biorepository serves as a storage facility for tracking specimen inventory using bar code technologies. The Biorepository also conducts most operations using modern laboratory automation and robotics, an efficient way to avoid processing errors inherent in the handling of larger numbers of specimens.

Hybrid binning tool that achieves high binning efficiency by utilizing both "compositional" and "similarity" features of the query sequence during the binning process. SPHINX can analyze sequences in metagenomic data sets as rapidly as composition based approaches, but nevertheless has the accuracy and specificity of similarity based algorithms., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

The OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center Leukemia Tissue Bank Shared Resource (LTBSR) facilitates the successful translation of basic leukemia research to the clinical setting via an extensive repository of tissue samples and accompanying pathologic, cytogenetic and clinical data for ready correlation of clinical and biological results. The LTBSR, which is an NCI-sponsored biorepository, has more than 40,000 vials of cryopreserved viable cells and 13,000 vials of matched frozen plasma and/or serum samples from more than 4,000 patients treated for leukemia and other malignancies. Committed to furthering translational research efforts for OSUCCC - James members and the cancer research community, the LTBSR provides investigators with training and technical support as well as procurement, processing, storage, retrieval and distribution of clinical research materials. In many cases, the LTBSR serves as the central processing lab for multi-site trials in which the principal investigator is an OSUCCC - James member. The LTBSR's goals are to: * Provide a central collection, processing and a state-of-the-art repository for samples collected from leukemia patients treated on OSUCCC - James protocols, and * Provide materials to investigators involved in collaborative studies with OSU, who examine relevant cellular and molecular properties of leukemia and correlate these properties with clinical or population-based outcomes.

The purpose of the American Diabetes Association (ADA), GENNID Study (Genetics of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM) is to establish a national database and cell repository consisting of information and genetic material from families with well-documented NIDDM. The GENNID Study will provide investigators with the information and samples necessary to conduct genetic linkage studies and locate the genes for NIDDM. Non-Hispanic white, Hispanic, African-American, and Japanese-American multiplex NIDDM families, with a minimum of one affected sib-pair, are being collected by the eight Harold Rifkin Family Acquisition Centers. Detailed family and medical histories are obtained from all participants. Family members with diabetes have fasting blood samples drawn, while nondiabetic family members have an oral glucose tolerance test and, when possible, insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion measurements by frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance testing or euglycemic insulin clamp. Lymphoblastoid cell lines are established for all participants. DNA samples and extensive phenotypic data are available from the American Diabetes Association's GENNID study (Genetics of NIDDM). GENNID has collected detailed family histories and a broad array of data on 170 large pedigrees, all of which contain at least one affected sib pair, with a total of 650 affected individuals and approximately 1,200 total subjects. Included are approximately 65 Caucasian, 60 Hispanic, 25 African American, and 20 Japanese American pedigrees. In addition, GENNID also contains DNA and data on 1,000 additional affected sib pairs in each of three groups, African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic. DNA and phenotypic data, including race, gender and age, are available for all members of the pedigrees. The data set includes multiple metabolic factors, including carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, and body size measures, as well as lifestyle variables obtained by questionnaire (e.g., employment, exercise, etc.). The GENNID resource is ideally suited for genetic linkage and association studies as well as SNP discovery and typing. Investigators interested in obtaining the DNA samples and/or data will need to submit a proposal to the Association that addresses the genetics of type 2 diabetes.
