Abstract

It is our aim to establish the ARK-Genomics project as a virtual centre of laboratory without walls for functional genomics research in farm animals. The aims of the ARK-genomics project - the UK Centre for Functional Genomics in Farm Animals - are to establish the infrastructure, biological resources, skills and expertise to enable functional genomics research on farm animals. An integrated platform will provide researchers access to large resources (e.g. over 1 million cDNA clones) and state of the art technologies (e.g. microarray analyses). To underpin the acquisition of experimental data is an informatics backbone for the collection, storage, annotation and analysis of this data. Besides the biological questions to be addressed, ARK-Genomics will engage scientists; raise awareness and training, through national user groups and international links.
