The CryoArks consortium is actively seeking more livestock partners with an interest in registering genetic samples, or as prospective end-users considering possible research collaborations that make use of the biobank.
Becoming a CryoArks partner does not necessarily mean handing over valuable personal or institutional research samples to a common collection. While CryoArks has the capacity to receive and store livestock genetic samples, we are also keen to simply collate information on the existence of biobanked livestock material held around the UK. Sharing this information should allow collection holders to be identified and facilitate collaborative research, making best use of existing resources and avoiding the expense of re-sampling livestock populations.
