Affymetrix GeneChip technology, SAGE, and LC MS/MS proteome analysis are being employed to analyze over 1000 preparations of human and mouse embryonic and adult stem cells. A bioinformatics team is facilitating integration and dissemination of this data. <a href="http://www.ottawagenomecenter.ca/projects/stembase"><font color="#436976">StemBase</font></a> is the major deliverable for this project, which provides a compilation of all of the stem cell expression data obtained during the project.<br /></li> </ul> <li>[http://www.ottawagenomecenter.ca/projects/stembase/ StemBase]</li> <ul> <li>StemBase is a database (publicly accessible at <span class="link-external"><a href="http://www.scgp.ca:8080/StemBase/">http://www.scgp.ca:8080/StemBase/</a></span>) containing data on Affymetrix DNA microarray experiments, and Serial Analysis of Gene Expression, mostly on human and mouse stem cell samples and their derivatives. We currently have more than 180 samples available to public users, with more being added regularly.</li> </ul> <li>The International Requlome Consortium</li> <ul> <li>&nbsp;</li> </ul> <li>&nbsp;</li> </ol> <li>[http://www.scgp.ca:8080/ Stem Cell Network in Canada]</li>

<li>The Stem Cell Network is a bold venture for Canada that brings together more than 70 leading scientists, clinicians, engineers, and ethicists, with the mandate to investigate the immense therapeutic potential of stem cells for the treatment of diseases currently incurable by conventional approaches.</li>
