Leibniz Institute DSMZ operates a user-friendly interface to query its database of STR profiles, brought together in collaboration with cell banks ATCC, JCRB, and RIKEN as a human cell line cross-contamination initiative. ...

The Cell Line Integrated Molecular Authentication (CLIMA) database is the result of an integration effort aimed at including all certified STR profiles of human cell lines in a unique database. Its main feature is cell line identification according to the ...

As part of their continuing efforts to characterize and authenticate the cell lines in the Cell Biology collection, ATCC has developed a comprehensive database of short tandem repeat (STR) DNA profiles for all of their human cell lines. ...

The NCBI BioSample database archives STR profiles and descriptions for several thousand cell lines, as provided by cell line repositories. The database is administered by the US National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. ...

This worksheet for human cell line authentication can help scientists to determine if STR profiles from two cell line samples are related. The worksheet uses match criteria from a Standard for human cell line authentication.  To cite the match criteria or learn more, please ...

Common cell culture terms are defined in the Guidelines for the Use of Cell Lines in Biomedical Research, which is available online.  ICLAC has included additional definitions as part of its Terms of Reference, some of which are copied here. See ICLAC Terms ...
