The G10K governing council, trustees, and working committees partner with scientific communities and represent over 150 members in over 50 institutions; this consortium has built an infrastructure from sample collection to genome sequencing, assembly, annotation, alignments, public data releases, and analyses for publication. The VGP started in February 2017.
