Subject: Final conference of H2020 GENE-SWitCH (and 10y FAANG event)

Dear FAANG Members,

The final conference of the Horizon 2020 project GENE-SWitCH will be held in
Brussels from 6 to 8 November 2023 at the University Foundation (Rue d'Egmont
11). The conference is a hybrid event, attendees may participate in presence
or remotely.

Please find the draft agenda and the link to register at
https://www.gene-switch.eu/final-conference.html.

GENE-SWitCH aimed to deliver new underpinning knowledge on the functional
genomes of two main monogastric farm species (pig and chicken), with a
specific focus on developmental phases, and to enable immediate translation
of this knowledge to the pig and poultry sectors.  During this final
conference we will present our main scientific results and, jointly with the
ongoing H2020 project GEroNIMO, hold a dedicated policy session with
stakeholders.

We will also celebrate the FAANG 10-year anniversary in a session entitled
“The functional genome for future Genotype-to-Phenotype research and
applications in swine and poultry”, with summary talks of GENE-SWitCH main
outputs and a round table focussed on 1. Genome annotations across
developmental phases, 2. The epigenetic impact of diets, and 3. Genomic
selection of swine and poultry.

Thanks for forwarding this message to your collaborators.
We will be delighted to see you in Brussels or online!

Elisabetta
