Current Research - Renibacterium salmoninaru Genome Project
|
A project to sequence the complete Renibacterium salmoninarum genome has been recently funded by the USDA and will be initiated in November 2003. The two year project is a joint effort of the Northwest Fisheries Science Center, the USDA National Center for Cool and Cold Water Aquaculture, and Oregon State University. It is hoped that the information garnered by this project will generate information that can be used to define important virulence determinants, genetic markers for strain differentiation, novel vaccine candidates, or targets for chemotherapeutic treatments.
Near or at the completion of the project, a public workshop to discuss the findings will be held at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center. A web-based sign up will be instituted in advance of the workshop.
As the project develops, more information will be posted on the official project web site, including links to raw sequencing data.
