Data Resources, Sharing, Discovery in Biomedical Genetics and Cancer Genomics
セミナー at National Cancer Center Hospital Tsukiji Campus
In this seminar you will learn about Progentix, a large open resource in cancer genomics focussing on curation and sharing of somatic copy number variation (CNV) data as well as other resources and research topics of the Theoretical Cytogenetics and Oncogenomics group at the University of Zucrich and teh Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics.
The second part of the presentation will make a case why such resources cannot be sufficient and introduce the approaches shepherded by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) to address the challenges of data discovery in biomedical genomics. Here, the presentation will provide an introduction into data federation in biomedical genomics with emphasis on the use of the Beacon protocol for genomic data discovery, together with a general introduction into principles and mechanisms of genomics standards development by GA4GH.
