Dear Rosaceous Genomics Community members.
During the recent Rosaceous Genomics Conference in Chile, it was decided that there should be a coordinated community effort towards comparative mapping, and that we should set up an international working group to attempt to meet these aims. I volunteered to act as interim chair of this working group whilst it is established and therefore I am currently drawing up a list of people from the community with an interest in comparative mapping and transferable markers with whom I will communicate over the coming weeks.
I have already identified a number of people within the community who are working on topics related to comparative mapping, but I want to be as inclusive as possible, so if you have a wish to be a part of any correspondence relating to this working group and/or want to be involved in this community effort, then please could you email me at dan.sargent@emr.ac.uk? Once I have a list of interested people, I will be contacting you further. Ideally I would like to have responses from interested parties by the end of next week (11th April 2008) so that I can get some kind of GDR mailing list sorted out etc.
I will look forward to hearing from you all in the near future,
All the best
Dan Sargent
