The primary mission of the Alliance of Genome Resources (Alliance), Model Organism Databases (MODs), and the Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium is to develop and maintain sustainable genome information resources that facilitate the use of diverse model organisms in understanding the genetic and genomic basis of human biology, health and disease. This understanding is fundamental for advancing genome biology research and for translating human genome data into clinical utility.
