Population biobanks, which store and distribute human DNA, cell lines, and tissue samples
collected from large cohorts, are being established and are growing in size. These
population biobanks are often funded wholly or in part by governments and are envisaged
as novel resources for national and international biomedical research programs. Such
programs include studies on associations between genotypes, environmental exposure
measures, socioeconomic parameters, and phenotypes of human health and disease.
