Integrated Primate Biomaterials and Information Resource

该奖项继续支持维护和扩展综合灵长类生物材料和信息资源（IPBIR）。 IPBIR最初建立的目的是收集、表征和分发来自尽可能多的不同灵长类分类群的已知来源的高质量DNA样本。 此外，IPBIR还试图收集和提供与提交的生物材料相关的人口统计学、地理学、行为学和其他表型数据，以促进种间和种内遗传变异性、变异的地理模式和基因型/表型关联的研究。 IPBIR目前拥有52种灵长类动物的DNA和细胞系，代表了该目15个家族中的9个。 IPBIR以一定的成本向学术、非营利、政府和工业用户提供样本，用于研究，包括进化研究、遗传元素的跨物种比较和单核苷酸多态性检测。 该奖项将确保科学界继续使用该设施，并将使政府间科学政策平台能够通过增加提供的物种数量和增加特别感兴趣物种的个体数量来扩大可用样本的数量。

This award continues support for the maintenance and expansion of the Integrated Primate Biomaterials and Information Resource (IPBIR). IPBIR was initially established in order to assemble, characterize and distribute high-quality DNA samples of known provenance from as many different primate taxa as possible. In addition the IPBIR attempts to collect and make available demographic, geographic, behavioral and other phenotypic data associated with the submitted biomaterials in order to facilitate research in inter and intraspecific genetic variability, biogeographic patterns of variation and genotype / phenotype associations. IPBIR presently has DNA and cell lines available for 52 primate species, representing nine of the fifteen families within the order. IPBIR has provided samples at scaled costs to academic, non-profit, government and industrial users for research including evolutionary studies, cross-species comparisons of genetic elements and single nucleotide polymorphism detection. This award will ensure the continued availability of the facility to the scientific community and will allow IPBIR to expand the number of samples available by increasing the number of species offered and increasing the number of individuals available from particularly interesting species.
