TMF-Veranstaltung

Sharing and Publishing of Human (Gen)Omics Data (Berlin)

Workshop Best Practice

-
TMF Office

The workshop jointly organized by TMF and e:Med will take place on 08./09. June 2016 and highlight the current challenges and best practices of publishing and sharing sensitive patient-related Omics data.

 

Programme details:

Since the 1980s, both funding agencies and biomedical publishers have either recommended or demanded that nucleotide and proteinsequence data be deposited in public databases at, for example,NCBI, EBI or DDBJ.

Making research data publicly available has since been regarded as part of good scientific practice in that it allows for more transparency, reproducibility and sharing of these valuable resources.

In the aftermath of the Human Genome Project (2004), new methodologies such as GWAS and the various Omics technologies, including Next Generation DNA Sequencing, have arisen in biomedical research that generate huge amounts of sensitive data (genotype-phenotype relationship) in a very cost- and time-efficient manner.

At the same time, it has become generally accepted that extensive sharing of these data among researchers will further improve our understanding of the mechanisms of individual disease susceptibility, progression and prognosis.

The workshop jointly organized by TMF and e:Med will highlight the current challenges and best practices of publishing and sharing sensitive patient-related Omics data.

These topics are becoming increasingly relevant, not only to patients and researchers themselves, but also to regulatory bodies, funding agencies, biotech industry and biomedical publishers. 

The following issues will be covered:

  • Data sharing within and beyond scientific research consortia   
  • Publishing Sensitive (Gen)Omics Data and Respectful Sharing
  • State of the Art Open Issues in the e:Med Consortia
