Learn how GA4GH helps expand responsible genomic data use to benefit human health.
Monarch Initiative
Provides a platform for connecting phenotypes to genotypes across species
The Monarch Initiative bridges the space between basic and applied research. Using semantic-based analysis, the group focuses on harmonising and sharing phenotypes across organisms, facilitating clinical phenotyping and diagnostics. The Monarch team’s expertise has been crucial in the development of GA4GH standards. Monarch leads development of the Human Phenotype Ontology for diagnosing genetic diseases and the Mondo unified disease ontology.
