| Abstract | Since the success of the human genome project, biobanks have become integral in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment in the development of diseases. The development of genomic biobank research has demonstrated that research is increasingly no longer confined to one site, but is now often a global, multi-site affair. Biological samples can not only be used and reused, but clinical information can continue to be added to the sample. These samples are easily transferred across borders and more and more research is reliant on access to these biological samples. |
