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 members, Scientific Advisory Group (SAG), and Task Forces, as well as evaluating proposals for new directions and project structures. Representation on the SC is intended to maximize communication amongst the Working groups and representation from the genome communities. Therefore, the SC consists of the Chairs of the Task Forces as well as scientists working on genomes of all species currently part of the FAANG consortium.
