Start year 2007 End year 2008 Funding (€) € 893,305 Website https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/44481 Summary "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.
The following activities were undertaken to achieve AQUAGENOME objectives:
1. inventory of existing genomic resources on order to identify and evaluate innovative bioinformatic resources, information and tools;
2. development of new instruments to improve the poor quality of the annotation of fish and shellfish genomic resources;
3. elaboration of a transcriptome analysis in various using conventional microarray and new high-throughput sequencing technology;
4. identification of specific research domains in which genomic approaches should be developed to support European aquaculture industry;
5. improvement of the transfer of information to the industry via the establishment of a network of contact, the organisation of two workshops and the development of a document prioritising research and knowledge exchange needs;
6. support of the mobility of experts and knowledge between network members through the distribution of grants;
7. formulation of recommendations that were disseminated to the European Community through the participation of AQUAGENOME members to related research platforms."
