The Animal Tissue Bank of Creative Bioarray provides animal tissue samples focused on biological studies. A directory of available samples is provided 

The Biorepository Core Service is a phased project. Initially it will provide biologic sample management for JGM Researchers (receipt, accessioning, storage, retrieval). Subsequent developments will support sample processing, clinical sample management and a tissue bank repository.

Go3R is a sematic search engine to avoid animal experiments.

The Biosciences Federation Animal Science Group was established in December 2002 and launched in September 2003 as an umbrella organisation to promote interaction within the biosciences community, particularly in areas of research and teaching; to provide information to assist the formulation of scientific policy; and, perhaps most challenging of all, to debate the ethical issues surrounding recent advances in the biosciences (see previous report by Nancy Rothwell).

In collaboration with the Animal Welfare Information Center at the US Department of Agriculture in Beltsville, USA has produced a database which provides an overview of guidelines, databases, journals, email lists, regulations and policies which may help researchers to implement the 3Rs when planning research that may involve animals. The database is called 3R Guide.

The aim of 3R Guide is to provide a 'one-stop shop' for researchers who need to gain an overview of available 3R resources.
