Case Studies Existing Human Tissue Repositories: Best Practices for a Biospecimen Resource for the Genomic and Proteomic Era
Case studies of twelve existing human biospecimen repositories
performed to evaluate their utility for genomics- and
proteomics-based cancer research and to identify "best
practices" in collection, processing, annotation, storage,
privacy, ethical concerns, informed consent, business plans,
operations, intellectual property rights, public relations,
marketing, and education that would be useful in designing a
national biospecimen network.
