title = "Resource brief: The National Non-Human Primate DNA Bank",
abstract = "A National Non-Human Primate (NHP) DNA bank has been established by the National Primate Research Centers and the National Center for Research Resources, NIH, providing a new resource for comparative genomic studies. The collection includes genomic DNA samples from macaques, chimpanzees, baboons, vervets, marmosets, sooty mangabeys and titi monkeys. The repository includes DNAs from 697 unrelated animals, suitable for comparing allele representation within and between species. Another 474 DNAs are derived from family-trios (dam, sire, off spring), and are useful for verifying the segregation of genetic variants. The National NHP DNA Bank includes specified holdings within each of the eight National Primate Research Centers, though detailed information on the entire collection is available through a common website.",

note = "Funding Information: To improve the access to, and availability of, NHP genomic material derived from the NPRC animal populations, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) – National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) formed a Genome Banking Working Group, comprised of representatives from each of the eight NPRCs, to establish a National NHP DNA Bank. As a result, a DNA repository, including 1171 DNA samples derived from 10 different Old and New World monkey species, was created ( Table 1 ). While most samples were supplied by the NPRCs, others were drawn from the populations supported by the NCRR Animal and Biological Materials Resources program (P40 resources). To insure that the National NHP DNA Bank would support a variety of research needs, two broad classes of samples were collected: {\textquoteleft}unrelated{\textquoteright} animals, supporting comparative genetic, evolutionary or population studies and family trio sets (sire, dam and off spring), useful for verifying the Mendelian segregation of genetic variants. Funding Information: We thank Dr. Jack Harding and NIH/NCRR for their support in establishing this National DNA Bank. We also appreciate the efforts of Dr. Jay Kaplan, and the staff of the Wake Forest Primate Research Center, for providing vervet and cynomolgus macaque samples for inclusion in this bank.
