The HUPO initiative on Multi-Organism Proteomes
Summary
The model organism community is growing steadily and the number of comprehensive model organism proteome data being generated is continuously increasing. To standardize efforts and to make optimum use of the proteomics data acquired in model organisms, a new Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) initiative on Multi-Oganism Proteomes (iMOP) was proposed. iMOP will stimulate the scientific exchange within this community, and HUPO best practices and standards can be brought to the model organism researchers. Their needs towards the central databases will be better represented, catalyzing the integration of proteomics and organism-specific databases.

Scientific Objectives
- Integrate different model organism research groups into a model organism proteomics community and promote interaction between them
- Adopt HUPO standards and best practices.
- Integrate and link proteome and organism-specific databases
- Develop software tools to navigate databases
