Abstract

GARNet, the Genomic Arabidopsis Resources Network aims to create resources and services of functional genomics. The technologies of functional genomics are developing rapidly, and there is a large need for wide availability of these technologies. The IGF initiative ensures functional genomics technologies will become available to a wide audience. Transcriptome analysis, bioinformatics, metabolite profiling, proteome analysis and forward and reverse genetics are the spearpoints of the Arabidopsis GARNet project. The wide range of available genomic resources will allow for fast progress of a wide range of research projects. The GARNet service providers undertake the development and maintenance of the different resources and facilities. The aim is to provide the UK Arabidopsis community with access to high quality services, but international access to the recourses is also possible. The Garnet Steering Committee will monitor the progress of the project and is responsible for prioritising access to the resources. This part of the GARNet network will provide a central micro- and macro-array service at NASC which will allow us to provide arrays for the community based on existing and projected public DNA populations. This will bring timely and advanced technology to multiple labs in a cost-effective and dedicated manner with appropriate concurrent and downstream technical training support. We also intend to enhance the accessibility of these resources both through wet-lab experimental research, and also via the use and development of appropriate bioinformatic tools for analysis, curation, distribution and training. (Joint with grants 208/IGF12424, 207/IGF12428, 8/IGF12429, 233/IGF12435, 208/IGF12438, 208/IGF12441, 83/IGF12442 and 87/IGF12443.)
