About the Association to Function Knowledge Portal project

The Association to Function Knowledge Portal (A2FKP) project has three major aims:
  1. Aggregate high quality datasets and bioinformatic methods for 11 classes of disease
  2. Integrate data and methods from each community within a comprehensive resource
  3. Develop programmatic and web-based interfaces for accessing the resource
The A2FKP is supported by funding from the National Human Genome Research Institute and is being developed by a team of scientists and software engineers at the Broad Institute, the European Bioinformatics Institute, the University of California at San Diego, the University of Michigan, and many other collaborators from academia, industry, and non-profit organizations worldwide.
