Introduction
-An international
consortium has successfully pursued the development of an internationally
supported a molluscan genome project, one that is focused mainly on
the freshwater gastropod Biomphalaria glabrata. No one
research group has seized control of this project. For this project
to succeed, it is necessary to remain a viable, interactive consortium.
It is important that scientists from both developed and developing countries
step forward to support this initiative.
-This
site provides information on design, management and progress of this
initiative. Currently, the consortium encourages investigators to pursue
external funding available at the national level, towards hypothesis-driven
research projects that include a gene discovery component. Individual research
groups may combine efforts in national and international settings to apply
for large scale resources such as funding for exchange of information and
investigators, production of BAC libraries, and sequencing capacity.
-The sequences
generated as part of the consortium effort will be released to public
databases in a timely fashion.
