1   Introduction
New models for research and innovation are emerging in the life sciences,
with emphasis placed on collaboration and partnership between a variety of
stakeholders, including academia, government, industry and non-
governmental organizations.' At the same time, a deluge of biological data is
being generated around the world, primarily due to the advent of high-
throughput technologies such as next-generation sequencing, RNAseq, and
array based gene expression analysis.' More recently population genetics and
systematic phenotype analysis of model organisms' such as the mouse and
zebrafish have begun to generate large volumes of complex and multi-layered
data, while a similar explosion is occurring in the availability of bioresources
fundamental to biomedical research, such as mutant mouse strains. The latter
is due in part to a coordinated high-throughput community project, the
International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC),' which is generating and
