Animalgenome.org is funded through support from two sources: 1) the US
Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture
project 2024-67016-42311 Animal Breeding-RCN: Farm Animal Genomics
Collective within the A1201 Animal Breeding, Genetics and Genomics
program; and, 2) the National Research Support Project NRSP8: Genomic
Capacity: Building Applied Genomic Capacity for Animal Industries.
Contacts for the leadership teams can be identified here:
NRSP8 and RCN.
This current site is a continuation from the previous USDA NRSP8 Program Bioinformatics Coordination Project website supported by the USDA-NRI (former CSREES) for the periods 2003-2008, 2008-2013, 2013-2018, and 2018-2023. The earlier "precursor" of this site was known to some old timers as "AnGenMap web site". It was the USDA NAGRP Pig Genome Coorination wesite (1993-1998) and the USDA NAGRP Pig and Chicken Gene Mapping Databases site (1998-2003). This site is designed as an information center to serve the national animal genome research projects of cattle, chicken, pigs, sheep, horse, and aquaculture species, a home to databases and web sites (being) built for structural, functional and application oriented studies of the animal genomics, to serve the purpose of research, education and related activities in the scientific, industrial and educational communities in the states and world wide. The development and maintenance of this site is at the Iowa State University. |
