A unique resource that will be part of this core is the Mayo Clinic Biospecimens Accessioning and Processing (BAP) Core, which provides vital services needed in basic, translational and epidemiological cancer research protocols, including: Specimen processing, Nucleic acid extraction, Microbiome kit building, Electronic biospecimen tracking, Storage, and Shipping. In addition, the CaPTC Biorepository at Covenant University will serve as a resource for this core.
