Genomic in fish and shellfish: From research to aquaculture

Objective

In recent years, a relatively large number of projects investigating the biology of aquaculture species through genomic approaches have been funded both at European levels and national levels. These have generated an extensive core of genomic tools and expertise that is spread among European research laboratories.
However, this scientific resource is not coordinated within research and transfer to the European aquaculture industry is still in its infancy. In this context, the objectives of AQUAGENOME are
(i ) to coordinate the ongoing and future national and international research projects in the field of genomics in fish and shellfish European aquaculture and support diffusion of genomic approaches within research laboratories
(ii) to enhance the transfer of information and knowledge towards the aquaculture industry. In order to reach these objectives, the aims of this project will be: -
To inventory existing genomic resources and identify and evaluate new bioinformatic resources, genomic information and tool s that are vital for the development of European aquaculture.
- To identify specific research domains in which genomic approaches should be developed in order to support the European aquaculture industry.
- To support exchanges of scientists and genomic re sources between members of the AQUAGENOME Associated Partner Network created.
- To determine the required actions to apply genomic tools and knowledge in an effective and sustainable manner in aquaculture, by interacting with producers and stakeholders.
These achievements will require the use of a number of instruments, e.g. working groups to gather experts in specific domains, organisation of workshops where aquaculture industry will meet research and construct a roadmap for genomic transfer to industry, creation of a website to share information and provide links, development of a database and software to broaden access to genomic resources and the distribution of grants to support exchanges.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
