生物库是组织严密的资源，包括可供科学调查使用的生物样本和相关信息。在整个欧洲，数百万具有相关数据的样本被保存在不同类型的收集中。虽然个人收藏可以得到很好的组织和利用，但资源很可能支离破碎、资金不安全和不完整。为了解决这些问题，将在整个欧洲开发一个生物库和生物分子资源基础设施(BBMRI)，从而实施由欧盟成员国论坛制定并已由欧盟委员会收到的欧洲研究基础设施路线图。在这篇综述中，我们描述了在欧洲和全球范围内为建设BBMRI所做的准备工作。
Biobanks are well-organized resources comprising biological samples and associated information that are accessible to scientific investigation. Across Europe, millions of samples with related data are held in different types of collections. While individual collections can be well organized and accessible, the resources are subject to fragmentation, insecurity of funding and incompleteness. To address these issues, a Biobanking and BioMolecular Resources Infrastructure (BBMRI) is to be developed across Europe, thereby implementing a European roadmap for research infrastructures that was developed by a forum of EU member states and that has been received by the European Commission. In this review, we describe the work involved in preparing for the construction of BBMRI in a European and global context.
