Description
Summary:After the human genome sequence has been solved using random individuals through the Human Genome Project (HGP), rapid advances in whole genome sequencing technologies with effective use at a reasonable cost, is moving the genomics research field to an era of ‘personal genomes’. Biobanks in this context have played an important role by providing high quality biological samples for genomics and functional genomics research. Here we are describing biobanking and the importance of governance in biobanking activity for reliable and reproducible high throughput ‘omics’ data.
