European plant genome database network (PLANET)

Objective

Due to a number of national and European efforts a wealth of highly valuable plant genome related information would be generated during the coming years. To integrate this information and to bridge the information flow between the national communities, the objective is to establish a network of data resources, bioinformatics tools and experts from nodes representing national plant genome efforts to create a comprehensive, distributed European plant genome database as an indispensable resource. The project will strongly benefit from the existing databases and bio informatics groups and build on the already establishedArabidopsis genome database.
