Abstract:

In the era of big data and precision medicine, large population cohort studies are one of the preferred designs for studying the etiology of chronic diseases, and cohort genetic resources have become important strategic resources of China. Promoting the standardized construction and utilization of cohort genetic resources can effectively promote the original innovation of research and technological development in the field of biomedicine, and make full use of the rich genetic resources of China. To provide a reference for the construction and utilization of genetic resources in the cohort research in China, we took the Taizhou Longitudinal Study (TZL) as an example and introduced the principles, methods, standard system, and practical experience of the collection, preservation, and shared utilization of genetic resources in the process of the cohort construction.

Key words: large population cohort, genetic resource, standardization, shared utilization
