Establishing a Central Resource of Data from Genome Sequencing Projects

illustrative sequencing data

On June 5-6, 2012, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) participated in a National Institutes of Health workshop - Establishing a Central Resource of Data from Genome Sequencing Projects -  at the Hilton Washington D.C./Rockville Hotel & Executive Meeting Center, Rockville, Md.

The workshop addressed the challenges to aggregating and analyzing data sets from genome sequencing studies, such as:

  • 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.
Also available as a video playlist on GenomeTV
