For researchers interested in the CHIP Biorepository
If you are a researcher looking for data or biospecimens, please reach out regarding sample usage, starting a new cohort, or inquires about pilot data for grant submissions.
The MI-AORTA Data Warehouse is collaborating with the CHIP Biobank, and the request for samples and data has been consolidated among several biobanks and databases to ensure that researchers have access to the most comprehensive and up-to-date data.
The MI-AORTA Data Warehouse has made a “one-stop-shop” to make this process easier for researchers. If you are interested in samples and/or data, please fill out the form at the link above and our data team will be in touch. If you are interested in making a general inquiry about availability, please complete the request or email either [email protected] or [email protected].
We have the following samples and data available.
Last updated October 2024
“CHIP Biospecimens and Data” showing the number of participants (dark blue bars) and the number of samples (yellow bars) for various biospecimen types. Categories on the x-axis include GWAS, Pellet, Serum, Plasma, DNA, Buffy Coat, PBMC, Aortic Tissue, FFPE, and RNA. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 9000. DNA has the highest sample count (~8468), followed by Serum and Plasma (~7766 and 7755), while PBMC has the lowest counts in both participants and samples. A data table below the chart lists exact counts for each category.
- Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) performed on 500k variants for many DNA samples
- Testing DNA quality, establish genetic fingerprint and ancestry of samples
While a version of the below may be sufficient for some grants, manuscript, IRB applications, the CHIP team welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with you to assist with customizing language for your specific grant application.
