Cites Permits
Our extensive collection of primate samples contains many species that are endangered species. Many of the samples can not be shipped without a Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) permit www.Cites.org and US Fish and Wildlife Permit www.fws.gov. The Cites permit needed depends on which Appendix (1, 2 or 3) the species falls within.If you are interested in acquiring a sample or samples from these collections, please contact Coriell's Matthew W. Mitchell, PhD (mmitchell@coriell.org) or customer service (customerservice@coriell.org).US Fish and Wild life Import_Export Permit.pdf________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Integrated Primate Biomaterials and Information Resource (IPBIR)
The purpose of the Integrated Primate Biomaterials and Information Resource (IPBIR) is to assemble, characterize, and distribute high-quality DNA samples of know provenance with accompanying demographic, geographic, and behavioral information in order to stimulate and facilitate research in primate genetic diversity and evolution, comparative genomics, and population genetics. Further research in these areas will advance our understanding of human origins, the biological basis of cognitive processes, evolutionary history and relationships, and social structure, and will provide critical scientific information needed to facilitate conservation of biological diversity. The cell cultures and derived DNA will be openly available to the broad scientific community who agree to restrict use to non-commercial, non-reproductive purposes.
National Institute on Aging Repository Primate Collection (NIA)
Sponsored by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the Aging Cell Repository, is a resource facilitating cellular and molecular research studies on the mechanisms of aging and the degenerative processes associated with it. The cells in this resource have been collected over the past three decades using strict diagnostic criteria and banked under the highest quality standards of cell culture. This collection contains multiple primate species.
Yerkes Collection
The Yerkes National Primate Research Center of Emory University Yerkes National Primate Research of Emory University is an international leader in biomedical and behavioral research. For more than seven decades, the Yerkes Research Center has been dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of primate biology, behavior, veterinary care and conservation, and to improving human health and well-being. The Yerkes Non-Human Primate Resource at Coriell includes viable and contaminant-free Pan troglodytes cell cultures and high quality DNA samples derived from these cultures, both subjected to rigorous quality control.
