International sequencing consortium.

The International Nucleome Consortium

The eukaryotic genome adopts in the cell nucleus a 3-dimensional configuration that varies with cell types, developmental stages and environmental condition as well as between normal and pathological states. Understanding genome function will therefore require the elucidation of the structure-function relationship of the cell nucleus as a complex, dynamic biological system, referred to as the n...

The International Barley Genome Sequencing Consortium (ibsc): a Coordinated Strategy for Sequence Analysis of the Barley

International Stroke Genetics Consortium Update.

Created in April 2007, the International Stroke Genetics Consortium (ISGC) has grown into scientific community’s global organizing force for stroke genetics, open to all who can contribute to its mission. Stroke is a leading cause of death worldwide, with 15 million people suffering a stroke per year. Intracerebral hemorrhage, which makes up 15% of all stroke in the United States, results in a ...

TerraGenome: An International Public Consortium for the Complete Sequencing of a Reference Soil Metagenome

The purpose of this presentation is to raise awareness in the wider international scientific community and funding bodies about the third global metagenomics sequencing initiative on our planet; i.e. to sequence the soil metagenome, following in the footsteps of similar initiatives for the marine environment and the human microbiome. The living soil is fundamental to all higher life on planet E...

A workshop report on wheat genome sequencing: International Genome Research on Wheat Consortium.

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a wheat genome sequencing workshop was held November 10-11, 2003, in Washington, DC. It brought together 63 scientists of diverse research interests and institutions, including 45 from the United States and 18 from a dozen foreign countries (see list of participants at http://www.ksu.edu/igrow). The objectives ...
