Research, training, experimentation and technology transfer are coordinated action to be performed to pursue this aim. The purpose of Bioinformatics Cluster project is to add bioinformatics resourches to CRS4 Bioinformatics Lab web site, according to the interests of project subscribers: – installing existing software or developing new software and databases for themes not already considered, – arranging training workshops and seminars to provide the users with tools and knowledge about the different subjects chosen for the project. The project is structured in five work pakages that will be developed in parallel, depending on the needs and use of the community. 1 – Database: workshop 2 – Database, pedigree software for genetic and genealogic data 3 – MicroArray data: databases and analysis 4 – Proteomics: databases and analysis 5 – Data and text mining: workshop
