A<unk>  is a facility that stores<unk> s of specific genome for the purpose of future use in a product or medicinal needs. They often contain expansive amounts of base<unk>  material that can be utilized for various projects.<unk> s can be used to generate detailed characterizations of<unk>  lines and can also help mitigate cross-contamination of a<unk>  line. Utilizing<unk> s also reduces the cost of<unk>  culture processes, providing a cost-efficient alternative to keeping<unk> s in culture constantly.<unk> s are commonly used within fields including stem<unk>  research and pharmaceuticals, with cryopreservation being the traditional method of keeping<unk> ular material intact.<unk> s also effectively reduce the frequency of a<unk>  sample diversifying from natural<unk>  divisions over time.
