WHAT DOES BIOBANK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

biobank

Biobank

A biobank is a type of biorepository that stores biological samples for use in research. Since the late 1990s biobanks have become an important resource in medical research, supporting many types of contemporary research like genomics and personalized medicine. Biobanks give researchers access to data representing larger numbers of people than could be analyzed previously. Furthermore, samples in biobanks and the data derived from those samples can often be used by multiple researchers for multiple purposes. Many diseases are associated with single-nucleotide polymorphisms, and using genome-wide association studies to study such biomarkers is often a goal of biobank research. Large collections of samples representing tens or hundreds of thousands of individuals are necessary to conduct these kinds of studies, so researchers may perform such studies only with large numbers of samples. Many researchers struggled to acquire sufficient samples prior to the advent of biobanks. Biobanks have provoked questions on research ethics and medical ethics, and have provoked widespread discussion.
