Eleven leading biomedical organizations announced today the formation of a unique $18M, three-year public-private consortium to create a comprehensive library of gene inhibitors to be made available to the entire scientific community. Based on the method of RNA interference (RNAi), this library will give scientists worldwide the tools to knock down expression of virtually all human and mouse genes, accelerating the growth of basic knowledge of gene function in normal physiology and disease.

In the latest issue of R&D Magazine, the Ó³»­´«Ã½-developed genome browser Argo is featured as a tool for promoting genomic studies. David DeCaprio and Reinhard Engels are quoted.

Argo is a Java application that is used for visualizing and manually annotating whole genomes. It provides an easy-to-read display of sequence and annotation tracks, customization options and an interactive zoom from megabase to nucleotide resolution.
