Development and Expansion of the FlyMine/InterMine Project. No-cost extension of 8 months beyond original extension. Original end date 31/03/09. SA. (360G-Wellcome-082598_Z_07_Z)

£397,102

The original FlyMine grant had several interlinked goals. Primarily we set out to integrate diverse Drosophila datasets to facilitate basic biological research on this tractable model organism. To support the genomic analysis of the important disease vector Anopheles gambiae, we also integrated genome data from the mosquito with the richer Drosophila data. We set out to develop a flexible query interface to the integrated data, allowing more complex data mining than simple record retrieval. We engineered the overall system to be generic, freely available and suitable for application in other areas for building both small and large-scale databases. We now seek to maintain and build upon these achievements by increasing the scope of FlyMine in terms of breadth of organisms and depth of data types covered. We propose further developing the underlying InterMine infrastructure to increase functionality, further improving the range of embedded tools within FlyMine and providing easy r outes for interaction with external tools. Finally, we will continue to facilitate the application of InterMine to other projects by external groups and provide training for users and developers.
