Description
The availability of ،«200 nearly completed genome sequences and >900 additional sequencing projects underway is changing the very fabric of biological research endeavors. With access to enormous amounts of sequencing data and rapidly expanding cloned gene collections, scientists have the opportunity to pursue research projects at any scale, from highly focused, one-gene-at-a-time studies to broader, more global genome and proteome-wide approaches. Although the former efforts are well within the standard purview of traditional research laboratories, global approaches necessitate a more complex collaborative environment involving multidisciplinary teams from academia, government, and industry. Such ،°large-scale science,،± most recently demonstrated by the Human Genome Project, also demands open access to data and resources, regardless of where the primary data are generated, and a commitment to provide as complete a resource as is feasible. This special issue focuses on creating, improving, and using cloned ،°ORFeomes،± and exemplifies successful partnerships between academia and industry. In this perspective we argue that long-term academia¨C industry collaborative relationships provide optimal solutions to the specific problems of discovery science.
