About us

This website has been constructed through a joint effort of RIKILT - Institute of Food Safety and Plant Research International, both part of Wageningen University and Research Center in Wageningen, The Netherlands. Both partners also participate in the Allergy Consortium Wageningen (ACW; http://www.allergymatters.org).

RIKILT - Institute of Food Safety (http://www.rikilt.wur.nl) is specialised in food safety research, including the safety of genetically engineered foods and animal feed. For example, RIKILT develops advanced methods for detection- and safety testing- of genetically engineered foods. In addition, RIKILT advises national and international authorities on the safety of genetically engineered foods and feed.

Participants for RIKILT in this project are See also our publications on predicting potential IgE epitopes in novel proteins [3, 4]

Plant Research International (http://www.plant.wur.nl) carries out research in all fields of plant science, including plant http://biotechnology and genomics. It has a proven track record in the field of bioinformatics applied to genomics and proteomics of plants and other organisms, such as Arabidopis thaliana and Lactobacillus plantarum, respectively.

Participants for Plant Research International in this project are Ir. M. Fiers (mark.fiers@wur.nl), Mr. H. Nijland (herman.nijland@wur.nl), Dr. J.P. Nap (janpeter.nap@wur.nl), and Dr. R. van Ham (roeland.vanham@wur.nl)

Website constructed and search algorithms installed by Mark Fiers (mark.fiers@wur.nl)
Help on website construction by Mr. Herman Nijland ( herman.nijland@wur.nl)
Allergen sequences compiled by Dr.ir. Gijs A. Kleter (gijs.kleter@wur.nl) and Dr. Ad A.C.M. Peijnenburg (ad.peijnenburg@wur.nl)

The sequence search facility is provided by Applied Bioinformatics Group from Plant Research International. The software runs on a Sun V60 server running Suse Linux Enterprise Server. The web server software is written in Python  and is hosted by an apache webserver using mod_python.
