The Pathogen Functional Genomics Resource Center (PFGRC) at TIGR centralizes production, access, and training in the use of a variety of resources for exploring the roles of genes and gene products (including proteins) in a significant number of microbes known to cause disease. It will be a multidisciplinary laboratory, resource, and teaching facility.
The goal of the NSF-funded Maize Oligonucleotide Array project is to produce and distribute to the research community high density microarrays for the maize genome. This site will contain information on project goals, participants, array availability, and data access.
The goal of the NSF-funded Rice Oligonucleotide Array project is to produce and distribute to the research community a "whole genome" microarray for the rice genome and link this information to the rice genome.
TIGR's Program for Genomic Application (PGA) links genes to function on a genomic scale in order to facilitate investigations in physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying heart, lung, blood, and sleep function and disease.
The goal of the Arabidopsis Array Project is to provide experimental validation for Arabidopsis thaliana gene predictions and to begin to assign functional roles to genes using DNA microarray technology as a key tool.
TIGR's Cancer Research Collaboration uses the tools and techniques developed through genomics and functional genomics to create molecular fingerprints of human cancers. This work uses microarray analysis and proteomics to study tumor metastasis with a focus on colon cancer.
Potato Functional Genomics Project provides links to the NSF-funded potato genome project at TIGR and includes sequence data, annotation, and links to the Solanum tuberosum Gene Index.
The TIGR Microarray Resources page provides links to a variety of resources, including protocols developed at TIGR and data associated with TIGR publications on DNA microarray functional genomics applications.
