International Goat Genome Consortium (IGGC)
Mission: The mission of the International Goat Genome Consortium (IGGC) is to increase the genomic tools and information publically available for the goat species. The consortium will collaborate on research and contribute funding, when possible, to accomplish the common goals of the members of the consortium. The consortium membership will be open to any individuals interested in goat genome research to ensure that the tools developed will be applicable to a diverse research base.
The International Goat Genome Consortium (IGGC) was created in March 2010 in Shenzhen and is coordinated by Professor Wen Wang, Zhang Wenguang (China) and Gwenola Tosser-Klopp (France): http://www.goatgenome.org/. The initial activity of the consortium has focussed on coordination in three areas, the results of which should benefit the planned activity in 3SR, namely: de novo goat genome assembly and resequencing; development of a Goat Radiation Hybrid Panel and Mapping; and production of a high-density SNP chip.
