In 2008, United States researchers stored 270 million specimens in biobanks, and the rate of new sample collection was 20 million per year. [11] These numbers represent a fundamental worldwide change in the nature of research between the time when such numbers of samples could not be used and the time when researchers began demanding them. [11]
Also biobanks, which do specimen storage, cannot take full responsibility for specimen integrity, because before they take custody of samples someone must collect and process them and effects such as RNA degradation are more likely to occur from delayed sample processing than inadequate storage.

A biorepository is a facility that collects, catalogs, and stores samples of biological material for laboratory research. Biorepositories collect and manage specimens from animals, plants, and other living organisms.
A file is a series of bytes that is managed by a file system. Thus, any database or file is a series of bytes that, once stored, is called a data store. MATLAB [ 2 ] and Cloud Storage systems like VMware , [ 3 ] Firefox OS [ 4 ] use datastore as a term for abstracting collections of data inside their respective applications.
An institutional repository (IR) is an archive for collecting, preserving, and disseminating digital copies of the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research institution. [1] Academics also utilize their IRs for archiving published works to increase their visibility and collaboration with other academics. [ 2 ]
One was the advent of biobanks, which are repositories of human genetic material that greatly reduced the cost and difficulty of collecting sufficient numbers of biological specimens for study. [12] Another was the International HapMap Project , which, from 2003 identified a majority of the common SNPs interrogated in a GWA study. [ 13 ]
