So far the real issue has been advocacy. By advocacy I mean someone who is really pushing for it and is working with everybody else who is interested in the organism." A STRATEGY FOR AN ANIMAL GENOME INITIATIVE Ronald Phillips of the University of Minnesota offered seven factors that he believed were instrumental in getting support for the Plant Genome Initiative—a program that was developed in part from discussions among officials from the USDA, NSF, and the National Academy of Sciences in 1997 (see Box 6-1~.

"Are they adequate for what researchers are trying to do, or should they devise a system of knockouts in a species that is important, in terms of your future lists of candidate species for sequencing? " "My second point that I thought was important for success of plant genome initiative was the interagency approach." By bringing together various federal agencies such as the Department of Energy (DOE)

Finally, be sure you keep the international community involved, not just in terms of some interactions, but, actually helping you work through your goals." By adopting a similar set of approaches, Phillips said, genome researchers interested in domestic animals could improve their chances of establishing and developing their own genome programs.
