Biotechnology bank of biology

Basic principles of biobanking.
Information is organized by exploiting the 5Ws’ approach (why, what, who, where and when), emphasizing definition, classification systems, key aspects, international standards required for accreditation and infrastructures needed to ensure quality and networking.

· Biotechnology is the technique of using live organisms or their enzymes for products & processes useful to humans. · The European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB) defines Biotechnology as ‘the integration of natural science and organisms, cells, parts thereof, and molecular analogues for products and services’.

Although the term “biobank” first appeared in scientific publications in 1996 [ 4, 5 ], there is still no agreement on a precise definition.
The term “biobank” has been gradually adopted to describe any collections of biospecimens or human genetic data suitable for research purposes [ 6 ].

The National Center for Biotechnology Information advances science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information.
