Abstract
The global Functional Annotation of Farm Animal Genomes initiative (FAANG) aims to improve animal breeding by improved genomic prediction via integration of functional genomics information. The GENESWitCH project has produced extensive functional genomics information for a variety of important tissues at early embryonic timepoints for both chickens and pigs. These datasets will be integrated to produce both tissue and time-point specific transcript, gene, and regulatory annotation for both species. In this paper, we describe the aims of the project, and the initial release of both raw and processed data.
