Abstract

The technology watch of the BBMRI-LPC 2015 will focus on the pre-analytical, ethical and data management issues that may prevent biobanks from providing samples that fully take advantage of the next generation of sequencing technology. Biobanks are a long term commitment and by preparing for the next generation of technology, biobanks provide researchers with immediate access to material for testing scientific theories that would otherwise take years or decades to evaluate.
