EADGENE co-ordinates the host-pathogen genomics research activities of 13 organisations, from 10 European countries.

By linking Partners in a Network of Excellence, EADGENE will have a strong role in orientating European animal genomics research.  Benefits to the Partners include a European "virtual laboratory" in genomics of animals and their pathogens, and the sharing of genomics data, knowledge,  equipment and materials. Partners also benefit from EADGENE's training and education programme, encouraging staff mobility and international exchange of information.
