說明

The BioBank is a jointly-curated ancillary collection of tissues derived from the established living stocks collection (i.e., the animals comprising the historic and current DLC primate breeding colony). It is a vouchered primary data source for biological research that is available to the scientific community. The current BioBank consists of >25K frozen and fixed samples from over 1,400 individuals representing 37 species, most of which are strepsirrhines. The DLC BioBank includes many types of specimens (e.g., cadavers, blood, organ tissue, sperm plugs, urine, and feces) available to researchers at a modest fee. These samples are associated with animal records, many of them digital.  Therefore, for example, data derived from these samples can be linked to life history.  Specimens are banked opportunistically from the living colony during routine physical exams or other veterinary procedures. Tissues are also collected from animals at necropsy. They are preserved in a variety of ways suitable for DNA, RNA, histological, and anatomical analysis.

The DLC is actively working to digitize and mobilize the data contained with the BioBank to GBIF and other data aggregators. Given the scope of this task, no time frame has been set for the completion of this process. If you are a qualified researcher interested in obtaining biological samples, please contact the Research Department at dlcbiosamples@duke.edu to discuss sample availability and to request the appropriate approval forms.

目的

Small aliquots of blood and organ tissues are fresh frozen and stored at -80⁰C. We have the capacity to flash freeze tissues in liquid nitrogen, fix tissues in formalin, and preserve tissues in RNALater. Most of the cadaveric samples are fresh frozen and stored at -20⁰C. A portion of the historical collection of cadaveric samples is fixed and stored in formalin.

If you are interested in samples that the DLC does not currently bank, requests can be made to collect specific sample types (e.g., odor samples from scent glands). We can also collect samples according to a specific methodology as they become available (e.g., fresh samples at necropsy).

After submitting a tissue request form, projects requiring small numbers of more widely available material are filled by the DLC Research Department directly. Projects requiring rare or large numbers of samples must be reviewed and approved by the DLC Research Committee.

CT scans and renderings of DLC BioBank specimens are available on Morphosource (Yapuncich, 2017; Yapuncich et al., 2019). This work was supported by a National Science Foundation award to Douglas Boyer and Gabriel Yapuncich at Duke University (NSF-BCS-DDIG 1540421). To date, 1,599 objects from N=157 frozen or fixed whole and partial cadavers (28% of the BioBank cadaver inventory) are open access on MorphoSource. The BioBank specimens were CT scanned at the Duke University Shared Materials Instrumentation Facility (SMIF) using a high-resolution scanner. All BioBank specimens are associated with life history, pedigree, health, colony management, and research data maintained in DLC databases and available to users.
