Functional Genomics Data Society

Facilitating the sharing and reproducibility of functional genomics data, 1999-2021

FGED Society: Long Live Functional Genomics!

Operating between 1999 to 2021, the FGED Society worked to accelerate and support the effective sharing and reproducibility of functional genomics data, creating standards and software tools that allowed researchers to annotate and share their data easily.

Following its final publication in 2021, the FGED Society is no longer operating as an official organization. This website serves as a record of FGED's accomplishments which date back to the early days of genome-wide research.

The History page provides more background and historical highlights of the FGED Society.
