Zusammenfassung:A critical part of the design of a tissue repository is the bioinformatics and data management system. Bioinformatics is an evolving discipline that has been defined in several ways, but all definitions emphasize the use of computer and statistical methods to understand biological data.¹ Bioinformatics often refers to research involving genomics, the study of the genes and their function in a genome, and proteomics, the study of proteins and their function in the genome.² The RAND interview instrument addressed questions regarding the use of bioinformatics systems at the sites, including standardization of data reporting, data searching and mining capabilities, accessibility
