• Functional Annotation of ANimal Genomes (FAANG) project genotype-to-phenotype (G2P) consortium works to decipher the genotype-to-phenotype (G2P) link in farmed animals. Other project goals are to link G2P in diverse animal populations and model G2P at the cell, tissue and whole animal scale.

• Human Infectious Diseases HPP initiative (HID-HPP) through the Human Proteome Organization (HPO) is an initiative to promote collaboration between scientists working on proteomics studies related to infectious diseases caused by virus, bacteria, fungi and parasites.

Phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS) search for phenotypes associated with specific single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) across thousands of human phenotypes (the phenome). PheWAS are analogous to genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but the research strategy is inverted. GWAS begin with families or populations which have members affected or unaffected for a disease or trait and search for genetic variants that are associated with the disease or trait. PheWAS begins with a genetic variant (single or set of variants) and searches across a set of human phenotypes to find associated phenotypes.

• Consortium for Neuropsychiatric Phenomics (CNP)
• Consortium for Neuropsychiatric Phenomics (CNP) is a large study funded by NIH Roadmap Initiative intended to facilitate discovery of the genetic and environmental bases of variation in psychological and neural system phenotypes, understand the links between the human genome and complex psychological syndromes and promote the development of novel treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders.

• The Knockout Mouse Project
• The Knockout Mouse Project (KOMP), coordinated by the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC), began in 2006 with the aim of developing knockout mutations for every protein-coding gene in the mouse genome
• The Knockout Mouse Phenotyping Program (KOMP2) began in 2011 as the second phase of the large-scale mutagenesis effort, with an expanded focus on CRISPR technology, funded by the NIH Common Fund and Trans-NIH program and continuing to work with the IMPC.

• The Human Protein Atlas

• BrainBase is a curated knowledgebase of brain diseases, with a focus on glioma, that includes published articles, gene associations, drug-target associations, glioma-multi-omics molecular profiles and is part of the National Genomics Data Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

• The Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project

• The Animal Microbiome Database (AMDB) contains bacterial 16S rRNA gene profiles from various animals and was established by the Laboratory of Evolutionary Bioinformatics, Seoul National University,to better understand the relationship between gut microbiota and animal hosts.

• The Allele-Specific DNA Methylation Database (ASMdb) is a database and web tool that displays DNA methylation level and differential DNA methylation in diverse organisms from humans to plants established by Huazhong Agricultural University.

• ARTS (Antibiotic Resistant Target Seeker Version 2) is a genome mining tool for antibiotics with novel targets. The approach searches for antibiotic producers that would be predicted to have resistance against their own products, called target-directed or self resistance. For example, antibiotic producers may have a duplicated antibiotic-resistant homologue of an essential housekeeping gene. ARTS detects possible resistant housekeeping genes based on three criteria: duplication, localization within a biosynthetic gene cluster and evidence of Horizontal Gene Transfer. ARTS perform analyis of the entire kingdom of bacteria, metagenomic data, and the comparison of multiple genomes.
