What is FaceBase?

From FaceBase https://www.facebase.org/

"FaceBase was initially launched in 2009 with eleven research and technology grants. The first phase from 2009 through 2014 focused on the middle region of the human face and the genetics related to developmental disorders such as cleft lip and palate. The data from this first band of projects created an huge database for the head and skull and craniofacial development available free to the public.
In 2014, the second 5-year phase of FaceBase launched with ISI's Informatics Division manning the Coordinating Center (known as the Hub) and ten new projects expanding FaceBase's domain to include more regions. The Hub is also developing new systems and tools including more complex yet intuitive search capabilities and greater detail and analysis in viewing data."
