in IV. MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION | ‘8. List of bioresources and/or biobanks used as sources of samples and/or data (and their identifier, if available). Bioresources include both biological samples with associated data (medical/epidemiological, social) and biomolecular research tools. The biosamples and biomolecular resources include any "physical" specimen derived from biological organisms, as well as antibody, affinity binder collections, clone collections, siRNA and microarrays libraries. Research tools include any data directly or undirectly derived from biosamples such as databases, locus specific-databases, registries of disease patients and any specific tool for molecular characterization of biobanked samples.’ |
