ACGT

ACGT aims to provide researchers and patients with the best means and resources to fight cancer. ACGT is working towards the rapid identification of cancer profiles and best treatments. The ACGT project will:

• Define common standards of data storage at each level of investigation.
• Develop new ontologies for cross-referencing terms and their biological contexts.
• Implement a bio-medical GRID infrastructure offering seamless mediation services for sharing data and dataprocessing.

ACGT will therefore deliver a unifying infrastructure allowing cancer researchers to share their data and to benefit from the innovative informatics tools that are being developed by other researchers.
