Summary
Researchers now expect that samples obtained from biobanks are accompanied with well-annotated clinical data. Opened in 2010, the Breast Cancer Campaign Tissue Bank takes this criterion a step further: researchers obtaining tissues are required to return the data they generate from every sample back to the Tissue Bank.
