Establishing a Central Resource of Data from Genome Sequencing Projects

- Data sets being generally hard to access.
- Data residing in various databases.
- Variant and exposure/phenotype data not being comparable across studies.
Participants in the workshop discussed options for dealing with these challenges, along with their costs and tradeoffs.
Available in the table below are videos and accompanying slides from the workshop.
