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.

A 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.

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.

A data sharing platform based on the ISA software suite - including an annotation tool and a database - that holds environmental omic data in standards-compliant format. It uses various approaches to provide new discovery, interoperability and integration opportunities for environmental scientists, including the development of tools, databases, standard and ontologies. The main tool for collecting environmental omics data from researchers is the EnvBase data catalogue. The NEBC Toolbox contains a range of tools developed by NEBC to support environmental researchers. The data include next generation sequencing, microarray and ABI sequencing technologies. ISAconfigurator and ISAcreator ensure that the extensive information relating to environmental sampling is consistently collected by the NERC experimentalists, according to the appropriate MIBBI checklist(s), and then reported centrally to NEBC. A local instance of the BII runs as an internal prototype database that will soon provide public and private access to NERC research projects outputs, as appropriate. In accordance with the NERC Data Policy, and when data sets are declared ready for public release, the NEBC team will use the ISAconverter to perform (combined) submissions to the appropriate public repositories (ENA, or SRA, ArrayExpress and PRIDE) to ensure long term stewardship.

A virtual organization that promotes transdisciplinary research into anthropogeny, or the study of human origins. The research interests are broad and include finding the structural and molecular differences between humans and apes, identifying and explaining external mechanisms, and defining the evolutionary origins of humans. The center hosts symposia as well as visiting professors for the anthropogeny graduate program.
