1 The Environmental Genomics Thematic Programme Data Centre Dawn Field, Director

2 Dawn Field dfield@ceh.ac.uk The Environmental Genomics Thematic Programme Funded by the NERC at £16.5m Aimed at understanding the molecular basis of evolutionary change, organismal phenotype, and ecosystem function Evolutionary and Ecological theory plus Genomic technologies Round 1 (17) funded in Sept, 2001, Round 2 to be funded in April 2003 Data Centre to be Launched October 2002 for a period of 5 years

4 Dawn Field dfield@ceh.ac.uk Data Management

5 Dawn Field dfield@ceh.ac.uk The Environmental Genomics Thematic Programme Data to be generated 25-30 Awardees producing genomic data non-model organisms microbes to vertebrates key area of overlap in data is microarray and EST data

6 Dawn Field dfield@ceh.ac.uk The Data Initiative Must comply with NERC data policy, balanced by science driven Awardee requirements: Heterogeneity and complexity of genomic data Emerging standards, especially for microarray data (MIAME, MAGE-ML) and beyond that proteomics and metabolomics) Importance of meta-data collection Emphasis on need for Local solutions Emphasis on need for bioinformatics training and skill development

7 Dawn Field dfield@ceh.ac.uk The Goals of the Data Centre The CEH Oxford EG Thematic programme Data Centre will provide the data warehouse for the Programme according to the requirements of the NERC Policy for data management. Working with Bioinformatics Partners to provide and develop specific file formats, analysis tools, and data archiving methods will allow the use of common software solutions that will maximise the value of the final data holding.

8 Dawn Field dfield@ceh.ac.uk Data Centre - Mission The mission of the EG Data Centre at CEH Oxford is to assure that: All Awardees have the means to collect and submit their data to the Centre We create the capacity and expertise within the Centre to collect, manage, distribute, protect, and exploit the collective data holdings All EG generated genomic data is eventually accessible long-term by the wider-community in an organised and add-value format We create the opportunity for affordable 'buy-in' options for future Research council-funded science initiatives Scale to meet future demand

9 Dawn Field dfield@ceh.ac.uk Data Centre - Mission We will implement this mission through the creation of: A Data Centre Team with expertise in bioinformatics, database management, and computing A computing infrastructure (hardware and software) that will include both centralised resources and a network of specialised computers in Awardee Labs
