Genetic Repositories Australia

澳大利亚基因库将提供一个中央国家设施，用于建立、分发和维持各种来源的人类基因样本（细胞系和DNA）的长期安全储存。澳大利亚没有提供这些服务的设施，但这些服务是遗传学和流行病学研究的重要组成部分。GRA将填补人口和家庭为基础的研究转化为遗传和基因组研究的重要“缺失环节”。这将提供健康和疾病方面的新知识，并改善医疗保健结果。

Genetic Repositories Australia (GRA) will provide a central national facility for establishing, distributing and maintaining the long-term secure storage of human genetic samples (cell lines and DNA) from a variety of sources. No facility exists in Australia to provide these services yet they form a vital part of genetic and epidemiological studies. GRA will fill an essential �missing link� in the translation of population and family-based research into genetic and genomic studies. This will deliver new knowledge in health and disease and lead to improved health care outcomes.
