THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 29, 2016. The Adenoma Polyp Tissue Bank (APTB) receives whole blood from patients enrolled in the Prevention of Sporadic Colorectal Adenomas with Celecoxib clinical trial. We have reached our accrual on blood submissions, so we will no longer be receiving blood specimens The objectives of this trial are as follows: A. To determine the efficacy and safety of celecoxib versus placebo in preventing the occurrence of newly detected colorectal adenomas in subjects at increased risk for colorectal carcinoma. In addition to incidence, other established risk factors will be evaluated for their association with occurrence of new colorectal adenomas, including cancer family history and adenoma size, histopathologic grade, multiplicity and location. Primary assessment of treatment efficacy will be the reduction in the number of subjects with adenomas at colonoscopy after Year 1 and Year 3 of study drug use. Secondary assessments of treatment efficacy will be 1) the number of adenomas 2) the histopathologic grade of adenomas and 3) the size of adenomas, also measured after one year and three years of study drug use. These factors will be incorporated into a risk model for predicting adenoma occurrence and response to celecoxib. B. To determine the efficacy of celecoxib versus placebo in modulating one or more of a panel of biomarkers for colorectal cancer at the cellular and molecular level sampled in a subset of subjects at selective sites at baseline and after Year 1 and Year 3 of study drug use. These biomarkers will include measurements of aberrant crypt foci (ACF), proliferation (index and crypt distribution), apoptosis (index and crypt distribution), COX expression and activity. If modulation of one or more mucosal biomarkers occur, we will explore whether it correlates with the development of incident colorectal neoplasia (adenomas/carcinomas), thereby attempting to validate the surrogacy of that biomarker. C. To develop a specimen bank. Serum and white blood cells are isolated from whole blood and adenoma tissue blocks and slides are banked. Banked specimens will become available for use in correlative science studies at a later point. This project began in 1999 and will be extended through 2006. The lead principal investigator is Monica M. Bertagnolli, MD, Brigham and Women''s Hospital, Boston, MA, and the APTB Director is Scott Jewell, Ph.D., Department of Pathology, The Ohio State University. The APTB is supported by the NIH, NCI Division of Cancer Prevention, in connection with the Strang Cancer Prevention Center, Cornell University, New York., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

NIH initiative to support production of cDNA libraries, clones and 5'/3' sequences and to provide set of full-length (open reading frame) sequences and cDNA clones of expressed genes for Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis. Clones distribution is outsourced to for profit companies. Project concluded in September 2008. Resources generated by XGC are publicly accessible to biomedical research community. All sequences are deposited into GenBank.Corresponding clones are available through IMAGE clone distribution network. With conclusion of XGC project, GenBank records of XGC sequences will be frozen, without further updates. Since knowledge of what constitutes full-length coding region for some of genes and transcripts for which we have XGC clones will likely change in future, users planning to order XGC clones will need to monitor for these changes. Users can make use of genome browsers and gene-specific databases, such as UCSC Genome browser, NCBI's Map Viewer, and Entrez Gene, to view relevant regions of genome (browsers) or gene-related information (Entrez Gene).

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented September 2, 2016. The Swedish twin registry has recently examined all twins in Sweden born between 1959-1985. 25,000 individuals participated in the study. The twins had to implement a Web-based survey on the Internet or a telephone interview where we had to answer questions about, among other things, about the diseases they have, or have had, behaviors, eating and drinking habits, smoking habits, etc. The aim of the study is to extend the information in the Swedish twin registry. Our goal with twin studies are, inter alia, to study the relative importance of the heritage and environment for the emergence of various diseases. The responses from the study is currently the basis for a number of analyses regarding how inheritance and environment affects disease and tobacco habits. Currently third follow-up STAGE where 10,000 twins that had previously taken part are contacted again. The purpose of alteplase randomized controlled trials is to follow up the same individuals one year after the first and second questionnaire replies were received to see if anything has changed. The issues we are interested in the follow-up to include changes in general health, working and living situation, your weight, smoking habits, etc. Study Results The results we have so far come to and which we can present here are figures on the prevalence of certain diseases. The figures give a rough estimate of the incidence of these diseases will look for all individuals, born in Sweden in 1959-1985. The figures are based on the questions on the questionnaire which the twins themselves had to answer whether they have or have had various diseases.

The Confederation of Cancer Biobanks (CCB) is a consortium of organisations based in the UK that are involved in the development, management and use of biobank resources for cancer research. The Confederation aims to promote and disseminate a collective view on best practices for biobanks and to promote transfer of knowledge and experiences between banks. While individual banks retain their full autonomy, membership leads to mutual benefit, ensures complementarities, avoids unnecessary competition and ensures a coordinated approach to cancer biosample provision. This will benefit all involved by allowing the sharing of expertise and information, the establishment of harmonized standards for the operation of cancer biobanks and provide a means to access a larger pool of biosamples from the confederated banks. The initial achievements of the NCRI Confederation of Cancer Biobanks were the drafting of a Memorandum of Understanding for the founder members of the Confederation, and a document outlining the Guiding Principles for the management and operation of a tissue bank / biobank in the contemporary ethical and legal setting. Any organization based in the UK, which collects and distributes biosamples for cancer research (not necessarily in the UK), may apply to join. CCB Members receive: * access to the Members Area of the web site containing shared resources * inclusion in email discussion fora with other members * networking opportunities with other members * inclusion in a collective voice to research funders, policy makers, legislators and others * inclusion in the NCRI''s new on-line sample directory * one free registration for each CCB workshop * a future opportunity to pursue accreditation/quality endorsement for the bank * a potential future opportunity for your donors to join a donor forum, which provides patients/sample donors with a mechanism of keeping in touch with research biobanking activities.

EIGENSOFT package combines functionality from our population genetics methods (Patterson et al. 2006) and our EIGENSTRAT stratification method (Price et al. 2006). The EIGENSTRAT method uses principal components analysis to explicitly model ancestry differences between cases and controls along continuous axes of variation; the resulting correction is specific to a candidate marker''s variation in frequency across ancestral populations, minimizing spurious associations while maximizing power to detect true associations. The EIGENSOFT package has a built-in plotting script and supports multiple file formats and quantitative phenotypes. Source code, documentation and executables for using EIGENSOFT 3.0 on a Linux platform can be downloaded. New features of EIGENSOFT 3.0 include supporting either 32-bit or 64-bit Linux machines, a utility to merge different data sets, a utility to identify related samples (accounting for population structure), and supporting multiple file formats for EIGENSTRAT stratification correction.
