Title
UK CropNet - The UK Crop Plant Bioinformatics Network
Description
The comparative analysis of plant genomes has become a key area of research within the last few years. This is due to the important discovery that plant genomes are composed of similar genomic 'building blocks'. While their intergenic DNA contents may vary, the gene order of closely related genomes are remarkably similar.
The last few years have also seen an explosion in the amount of sequence information (both nucleotide and protein) available in the public databases (e.g. EMBL). This growth in 'genomics' is having a profound effect on the way that scientists can do science and the next few years will almost certainly see similarly huge increases in the information produced from transcriptomics and proteomics facilities. There is, therefore, a clear need for easy to use tools to manage this wealth of information.
UK CropNet was established in 1996 to apply a bioinformatics approach to the study of genome evolution in crop plants with specific aims of developing software and databases that will facilitate the querying of genomic information from different crop species. Particular emphasis has been placed on developing software tools for comparative mapping.
