Hinxton, Cambridge, UK, 10 June 2016 - The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH), a partnership of more than 400 organisations in 70 countries, today calls for improved sharing of genomic and clinical data through a federated ‘data ecosystem’. In a perspective published inScience, international leaders in biomedical research argue that a common framework of principles, protocols and interoperable technical systems are necessary to enable responsible and effective data sharing.
Established in 2013, GA4GH partners are building tools and establishing standards to achieve that goal.
“These stakeholders are working together across traditional boundaries to create the common framework that will allow us to make best use of the millions of genome sequences that currently sit in siloed databases around the globe,” says Peter Goodhand, GA4GH Executive Director and one of the authors on today’s Perspective.
