Data Repository

The NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) was established by the NCI Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG) to support the receipt, harmonization, distribution, and analysis of genomic and clinical data from cancer research programs. The GDC provides the cancer research community with a repository and computational platform for cancer researchers who need to understand cancer, its clinical progression, and response to therapy. The GDC accomplishes this by harmonizing raw sequence data against a common reference genome (GrCH38), applying state-of-the-art methods for generating high-level data such as mutati… [learn more]

The NIA Nonhuman Primate (NHP) Core Facility maintains a colony of rhesus macaques at the National Institutes of Health Animal Center. Established in 2012, the Core's mission is to offer research services supporting multi-disciplinary translational aging projects.  Working with investigators, we develop experimental protocols to evaluate various aspects of NHP aging.  We provide all supportive care for the research animals, complete all regulatory requirements,  conduct in vivo experiments, and collect and organize study data.  The NIA IRP's 30 years of NHP research experience has made us… [learn more]

With specimens that span neurological, neuropsychiatric, and neurodevelopmental diseases and disorders, the NBB serves as a central point of access to the world-class collections of our six biorepositories. In addition, the NBB provides researchers with a wealth of resources to facilitate their research, including medical records and clinical data sets (when available) as well as access to quality metrics and best practices used by each site. Established Technologies The NIH NeuroBioBank contains an inventory of specimens that are available through its b… [learn more]
