The GO-FAANG workshop was convened on October 7-8, 2015 at the US National Academy of Sciences Building on the National Mall, 2101 Constitution Ave NW, Washington, DC 20418. (see news.)
The purpose of this meeting was to exchange information and develop plans for organizing the FAANG effort world-wide.
Several Plenary speakers provided inspirations for attendees to look forward to the value of functional annotation. The majority of the meeting time was devoted to small and large group discussion of priorities and needs of the FAANG project.
Attended include genome scientists, industry and funding agency representatives from the US, Europe, Asia and Australia.
| All live sessions were held in National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Building Room 120 and was available online via Zoom.us. Additional seating were provided in NAS Rm 118, where a web simulcast of the NAS 120 presentations was available. | ||
