##What it is CNAG-beacon within the FP7 project RD-Connect collaborates with Beacon Network (formerly known as the Beacon of Beacons, or BoB, for short) which provide an unified REST API to publicly available GA4GH Beacons (see http://ga4gh.org/#/beacon for more details about the Beacon project itself).
