GENE-SWitCH in a nutshell

  • ​Horizon 2020 – Grant agreement number: 817998
  • Type of action: Research and Innovation Action
  • Duration of the project: 48 months 
  • Starting date: 01 July 2019
  • Coordinator:  Dr. Elisabetta Giuffra (INRA)
  • ​Partners: 11
​
GENE-SWitCH aims to deliver new underpinning knowledge on the functional genomes of two main monogastric farm species (pig and chicken) and to enable immediate translation to the pig and poultry sectors. The activation status of functional genome sequences varies across time and space, and in response to environmental perturbations. In full coordination and synergy with global effort and ongoing projects of the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes (FAANG) community, we will characterize the dynamics (“switches”) of the functional genome from embryo (chicken) and fetus (pig) to adult life by targeting a panel of tissues relevant to sustainable production. Read more
GENE-SWitCH is part of the EuroFAANG platform, a coordinated effort to unravel the connection between the genetic make-up of an animal and the observable physical and physiological traits.
