Functional annotation of livestock genomes: contribution to the FAANG action by the French pilot project FR-AgENCODE from the INRA
In the context of the FAANG worldwide initiative to coordinate the Functional Annotation of ANimal Genomes (www.faang.org), the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) launched the FR-AgENCODE project in order to improve the genomic annotation of 4 livestock species: pig, cattle, chicken and goat. Thousands of tissue samples have been collected from 2 males and 2 females of each species and made available at the CRB-Anim biorepository (cf "FR-AgENCODE" in BioSamples). Cellular samples from liver and sorted CD4+ and CD8+ T cells have been targeted for molecular assays to profile gene expression with RNA-seq and chromatin structure with ATAC-seq and Hi-C.
