5. Summary / objectives
|
We propose to establish an international cooperation network aiming at the application of cutting-edge genomics technologies in biodiversity and ecosystems research. The goal of the MolConnect initiative is the establishment of a communication and information platform at the interface between functional genomics and biodiversity and ecosystems research for the subsequent development of joint project initiatives. The network will be initiated through the organisation of a workshop to be scheduled in September 2006. Interactions with partners from Latin America will be specifically put forward. High-throughput analytical genomic tools have so far extensively been used to study developmental and physiological processes in all types of organisms. The next, essential step for a better understanding of terrestrial biodiversity, genetic resources and ecosystem structures and dynamics will be the integration of functional genomics to allow a more complete understanding of organism performance under specific environmental conditions.
