Functional Annotation of ANimal Genomes (FAANG) Project

— A coordinated international action to accelerate Genome to Phenome

The purpose of the Steering Committee (SC) is to develop and implement policy to advance the FAANG project. The SC gathers information from FAANG committees and members, as well as directing Committees to evaluate proposals for new directions and project structures. Representation on the SC is intended to maximize communication amongst the committees and representation from the genome communities. Therefore, the SC consists of the Chairs of the other committees as well as scientists working on genomes of all species currently part of the FAANG consortium. In some cases, species are represented by Committee Chairs.

Previous committee conference call minutes can be found here.
