Biobanks help centralize specimen collections, store and disseminate data, and facilitate large-scale analyses. This Review discusses how biobanks facilitate genetics research towards advancing precision medicine and overviews potential solutions to their current limitations.
Researchers can learn a lot with your genetic information, even when you skip survey questions β yesterdayβs mode of informed consent doesnβt quite fit todayβs biobank studies
Biobanks collect and store large amounts of data that researchers use to conduct a wide range of studies. Making sure participants understand what theyβre getting into can help build trust in science.
