Genome sequencing initiatives rely on data sharing for greatest impact

Genome sequencing offers breakthrough potential for national and international health initiatives, including COVID detection, rare diseases research and precision healthcare development. However, while local initiatives generate valuable data sets, those that can be correlated with other locales and populations are exponentially more revealing. To have the greatest impact, scientists need a safe, easy way to share data sets with global counterparts to better understand genomics traits and trends.

Highlights

  • See how transparently mapping multiple autonomous database systems into a single federated database interconnected via a computer network and geographically decentralized, data federation is disrupting genomics data collaboration. 
  • In this model, there is no need for data copying or data transfer. Instead, a data visiting model allows researchers to send queries to federated, interconnected genome institutes. 
  • Query results returned allow researchers to better correlate research findings and improve overall research velocity. All local data remain in their jurisdiction and thus comply with all data privacy and regulatory requirements.
