A Window on Biobanks around the World
The objective of the Observatory Catalogues is to support the development and harmonization of epidemiological projects in genomics. Catalogues provide easy access to information about large population-based biobanks and they provide an overview of the similarities and differences, and the potential for harmonization between participating biobanks.
