Abstract

With the impending completion of the Drosophila genome sequence, UK researchers require access to state-of-the-art technologies to exploit this information experimentally and thus remain internationally competitive. We will establish core functional genomics resources for the UK Drosophila community, encompassing P element mutant collections, a microarray expression facility and a 2D gel-mass spectrometry proteomics facility, which will provide services to individual groups in the UK fly community. Fair and equitable access to the resources will be regulated by an advisory committee. Specific proposals to develop bioinformatics tools and provide training resources will ensure the UK remains at the forefront of international research.
