About the Center
The J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI, formerly The Institute for Genomic Research) has been awarded a contract from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to establish the Pathogen Functional Genomics Resource Center (PFGRC). The PFGRC provides scientists with centralized resources necessary to conduct functional genomics studies on a variety of pathogens for which genomic sequence information is currently, or will soon be, available. The Center supports five programs: DNA microarrays, the Invitrogen Gateway® Entry Clone Resource, Comparative Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics support. The near-term goals of the PFGRC are to provide microarray, genotyping, proteomics, clone access, bioinformatics, and repository support surrounded by a Center-Client web-based interface allowing access to resource acquisition, data, and data analysis.
