Following several years enrolling disease-specific and otherwise healthy cohorts into the Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative (CPMC), a prospective study aimed at evaluating the clinical utility of personal genomic information for common complex disease and pharmacogenomics, the CPMC expanded to create a military cohort, specifically, with the United States Air Force.

read moreThe Allen Institute for Cell Science has released the Allen Cell Collection: the first publicly available collection of gene edited, fluorescently tagged human induced pluripotent stem cells that target key cellular structures with unprecedented clarity. Distributed through the Coriell Institute for Medical Research, these powerful tools are a crucial first step toward visualizing the dynamic organization of cells to better understand what makes human cells healthy and what goes wrong in disease.
read moreIn an effort to refine their Reference Material initiative, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will now offer samples from two family trios hosted in the Personal Genome Project Collection at the Coriell Institute for Medical Research. These samples have been widely studied in order to characterize the more difficult regions of the genome, as well as more difficult types of variants, like structural variants.
