Talk:List of biobanks

Inclusion into this list
Wikipedia has a criteria called "notability" which is used to decide whether a subject merits its own Wikipedia article. See WP:NOTABILITY for more information. It would be preferable that all entries into this list meet notability criteria and have their own Wikipedia article. If anyone needs help creating a Wikipedia article for a particular biobank then please post here or write me for guidance.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)   20:13, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Entries from main article
Here is some text I removed from the main article. Perhaps these should go into this list.


 * Howard University's National Human Genome Center announced plans to develop a biobank over the African diaspora.


 * The Genetic Alliance BioBank provides a shared infrastructure for disease advocacy organizations to manage both biological samples and clinical information.
 * The Canadian Biosample Repository in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada offers biobanking services to the Canadian research community
 * The Gene Logic BioBank offers BioBanking services to the global community. This biobank comes with an integrated HIPAA compliant LIMS system and has liquid nitrogen storage.

I did not want to put them in because they do not have their own article and because I have not checked their notability.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)   22:22, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Other biobanks
There are other biobanks such as the Mayo Clinic Biobank. Perhaps criteria for biobank inclusion should be created.Smallman12q (talk) 01:41, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
