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 ...
