NDRI is a Not-For-Profit (501c3) Corporation dedicated to providing the highest quality human biomaterials for research. NDRI makes it easy for researchers to get the human tissues and organs they need, prepared, preserved and shipped precisely according to their specific scientific protocols, as quickly as possible, and in the largest available quantities. NDRI provides researchers with protocol specific human neurological tissues such as brain stem, spinal cord, and basal ganglia, among others. In addition to control specimens, NDRI recovers tissues from donors with a variety of diseases, including Down syndrome, Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers disease, schizophrenia, and dementia. Through the NDRI 24/7 referral and procurement system, research consented biospecimens can be provided from low post mortem interval donors preserved at 4ºC, frozen or snap frozen, fixed, paraffin embedded, or as unstained slides.

Asterand, Inc., the Detroit-based supplier of human tissue products and services, announces the distribution of eleven breast cancer cell lines, derived at the University of Michigan. The University has agreed to license the marketing of the breast cancer cell lines, known as the SUM lines, through Asterand in an effort to provide an exceptional tool to a broad base of researchers studying the disease. There are an estimated 1.2 million new diagnoses worldwide of breast cancer each year. The cell lines can be used to study all aspects of breast cancer biology, from new drug target identification to cell signaling to effects of novel drugs on cellular proliferation.

Software program that detects the precise break points of Copy number variations (CNVs) through a fuzzy string matching algorithm using both CIGAR and POS information. In case the two break points of a CNV are in repeated regions and the break points are not unique, it reports the range where the break points can slide.

The Biorepository was designed to collect, process, and distribute large numbers of high quality research specimens quickly and efficiently. The data that is collected is primarily human DNA from whole blood along with other human specimen types. The data are collected, processed, stored and later distributed to support a large number of research studies. Biobanking of other specimen types include cells, RNA, serum, plasma and tissue. The Biorepository serves as a storage facility for tracking specimen inventory using bar code technologies. The Biorepository also conducts most operations using modern laboratory automation and robotics, an efficient way to avoid processing errors inherent in the handling of larger numbers of specimens.
