Biobank

one promising area is the 'biobank,' the collection of more than one million blood and other biological samples gathered during biennial checkups of framingham study participants going back more than a half century.

很有希望的一个领域是“生物样本库”（biobank），一个拥有超过100万个血液及其它生物样本的数据库。这些生物样本是在对过去半个多世纪中参与弗雷明汉研究的人员进行两年一度的体检时采集来的。
