Phase II: Reaching out to the Participating Investigators
One of the goals of the Consortium for Functional
Glycomics is to generate resources for the use of investigators in studying
the complex biology that governs the interactions of glycan-binding proteins
and their ligands in mediating cell communication.
The following scientific cores need your help and feedback:
Major objectives
Continue development of pipeline of >30 novel mouse lines with deletions of GBP and GT genes
Phenotype at least 4 strains per year
Network to coordinate CFG phenotyping with biological evaluations in laboratories of participating investigators (mentors)
Needed from Participating Investigators
Suggestions of gene ablation targets for Core F
Mentors for strains being phenotyped by Core G
Investigators interested in phenotyping novel strains produced by Core F
Send your suggestions/feedback to either core directors Bo Ma and Sally Orr
or core coordinators James C. Paulson and Jamey Marth
Other suggestions:
- Synthesis of compounds for mammalian and pathogen glycan arrays library, N-linked and O-linked glycan standards synthesis by Glycan Array Synthesis (Core D)
- Pathogen Glycans for the pathogen glycan microarray (Core H)
- KO targets for Mouse Transgenic (Core F)
- Mentors for KO mice being phenotyped by (Core G)
- Pure human and murine cell populations for glycomics profiling (Core C)
- Gene expression analysis (Core E)
- Annotation of glycan binding protein molecule pages for the CFG database (Core B)
