The major aims of the RBC‐Omics study were to evaluate the genomic and metabolomic determinants of spontaneous and stress‐induced hemolysis during RBC storage. This study was unique in scale and design to allow evaluation of RBC donations from a sufficient number of donors across the spectrum of race, ethnicity, sex, and donation intensity. Study procedures were carefully piloted, optimized,...
