International Sequencing Consortium
The International Sequencing Consortium (ISC) has established a website to provide a single, central site for the scientific community and the public to have access to up-to-date information about animal, plant and other eukaryotic genomic sequencing projects. Users can view the sequencing status of a particular organism, on-going projects at a sequencing institution and projects that are receiving funding from a particular agency.
ISC was established to provide a forum for genomic sequencing groups and their funding agencies to share information, coordinate research efforts and address common issues raised by genomic sequencing, such as data release and data quality. Members of the ISC include the large-scale, high-throughput sequencing centres and their funding agencies, including the Wellcome Trust.
