Objective
The European Mouse Mutant Archive (EMMA) has organized a central repository facility and an associated network of European nodes for stocking, preserving and redistributing the mouse mutant strains that are produced by scientists from both European and extra-European countries.
An essential objective of the EMMA project is to foster the functional coupling of the EMMA stock centres and related information systems through the establishment and maintenance of a dedicated resource database (EMMA-RDB). This database will classify and describe all the mutant strains which EMMA is stocking and their genetic and phenotypic properties. It will also constitute a fundamental tool for the management of scientific, technical and logistic activities carried out by each EMMA node and for the co-ordination and harmonization of the resources and services to be shared by the different nodes.
The project will also implement user-oriented access interfaces which will provide external users with appropriate services for the development and application of protocols and standards facilitating data exchange and the distribution of EMMA scientific and technological resources.
This proposal deals with the initial phase of the establishment and publication of the EMMA-RDB, under the co-ordination of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche EMMA main site (CNR-EMMA) in Monterotondo (I) with the scientific and technical assistance of the European Molecular Biology
Laboratory-European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI; Hinxton, UK) and of the EMMA node at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique-Centre de Developpement des Techniques Avancees pour l'experimentation animale (CNRS-CDTA, Orleans, F).
The project will be co-ordinated with related activities developed by the reference Mouse Genome Database (MGD) at the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, USA). The participation of the EMBL-EBI will ensure the effective interaction and harmonization with the most important molecular biology databases (e.g.: EMBL Database, SWISSPROT, TREMBL, etc.).
