Abstract
Advances in molecular technologies and clinical trial design have mandated new requirements for the operation of biorepostories. caTissue Suite is a caBIG(TM) application designed to manage the complexities of biospecimen annotation data.caTissue Suite is a software application developed with requirements gathering and acceptability testing by multiple institutions. caTissue uses a web browser to store and retrieve data from a database. Its open program interface (API) permits customized access to all of the application's features, and data integration from other data systems.caTissue Suite is scalable and configurable for broad deployment across biorepostories of varying size and function. Numerous institutions have adopted the application and are using it in their daily operations. A caBIG(TM) supported, web‐based “Knowledge Center” (https://cabig‐kc.nci.nih.gov/Biospecimen/KC) provides on‐going application support via discussion forums, technical and user guides, training tools, and webinars.caTissue Suite is a freely available, fully supported, open‐access software application for biospecimen data management. Use of caTissue Suite by several NCI Cancer Centers and other biospecimen resource groups is providing a rapid and facilitated path toward standardizing biospecimen informatics and promoting biospecimen data sharing both nationally and globally.
