Global Alliance for Genomics and Health - Promoting a New Paradigm for Data Discovery in Biomedical Genomics
Seminar at Tohoku University Sendai
Since its foundation in 2013 the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) has emerged as the main international organization to address the challenges of data discovery in biomedical genomics. The Beacon standard developed by GA4GH with technical support by the European bioinformatics orgabnization ELIXIR and many international stakeholders has become a default for implementing modern concepts of federated data discovery and access.
This presentation will provide an introduction into data federation in biomedical genomics with emphasis on the use of the Beaconm protocol for genomic data discovery, together with a general introduction into principles and mechanisms of genomics standards development by GA4GH.
