PIONEERING OPEN SCIENCE FOR A MORE ACCESSIBLE AND COLLABORATIVE SCIENTIFIC LANDSCAPE IN MONOGASTRIC BREEDING: The GENE-SWitCH Project

The GENE-SWitCH project has embarked on an ambitious journey to transform the scientific ecosystem in monogastric breeding through the principles of open science. This collaborative effort has yielded significant contributions. In this article, we delve into the project's achievements, focusing on their commitment to enhancing the Fair Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) in monogastric genomics.

TRANSFORMING HEALTH & WELL-BEING THROUGH DIET

The GENE-SWitCH project, with its innovative focus on diets, has opened new avenues for enhancing health and well-being across species. We explore the project’s remarkable contributions, that pertain to critical issues, in animal health, and sustainable food practices. Health and well-being are interlinked, and dietary interventions play an important role through their effect on the microbiota. In tackling this topic, GENE-SWitCH has addressed the broad goals of sustainable food practices and animal health and welfare.
