Bio-resource banking project is a system for collection and storage of DNA, sera, tissues, and information from human patients with common diseases. To identify their susceptibility genes, a large number of samples are required for the study. In humans, by reason of the importance of bio-resource banking systems, the project is ongoing in the world. In 2007, the canine bio-resource banking system started at Azabu University as a collaborative project with 11 referral animal hospitals. Following the informed consent to the owners, veterinarians have collected the blood samples and case histories from dogs referred to the animal hospitals and sent them to our laboratory in Azabu University. These blood samples are treated to prepare DNA and serum, and then, stored in the freezer. Each case and sample information is recorded in the database on a personal computer for future use. Over 2,000 samples from 65 different breeds have been collected in this project. The best three breeds collected were dachshunds, golden retrievers, and shih-zhus and the best three diseases were ophthalmologic diseases, tumors, and bone-joint diseases. The developed canine bio-resource banking system would be a key source for genetics research in dogs. Progress of this research would lead to decrease hereditary diseases in dogs.
