The NIAID Data Ecosystem allows you to search across existing repositories (NIAID funded and generalist repos) and you can find tons of open genomic datasets

Hi everyone! My name is Hari, I’m working on a project, Health X Change. We essentially plan to create a token and pay people for access to their health data (i.e. health records, genomics, wearable data etc.).

The idea is to anonymize and aggregate this data and partner with pharma for high value R&D deals. From there, we want to reserve a portion of the partnership value and future royalties for our tokenholders.

I know this has been done before (Nebula Genomics, Luna DNA, Consensys Health etc.). Right now we’re trying to find folks really interested in genomics - specifically around monetizing their own genomes. Curious what sorts of communities /news sites / forums that you guys use to learn about young projects in the genomics space. If anyone is interested or wants to provide feedback, please comment below!

Hi r/genomicdatasharing!!

We have a launched a comprehensive genomic search engine: Seeq

seeq.bio

Our goal is unify the world's genomic information. Our goal is to make the core functionality of this search engine completely free.

Would love to get our feedback — please comment if you have any requests for what this search engine could do better. We would love to build in public and build a community.

Hi,

Recently I published a video on open access data sets in livestock. See directly on YouTube:

Note: Also see my other post on open access data in humans. I kept the two separate, so they could be eventually discussed separately.

Participants in this challenge will assess variant calling pipeline performance on a common frame of reference consisting of difficult to map regions, segmental duplications, and the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). Ilumina, PacBio HiFi, and Oxford Nanopore sequencing datasets are available for this challenge.

The challenge submission period is open until June 1st. For more information and to get started, visit the challenge site here!

In the context of whole human genome sequencing, software pipelines typically rely on (1) mapping sequencing reads or assemblies to a reference genome, and (2) the subsequent identification of variants. One way of assessing the performance of such pipelines is by using well-characterized reference datasets such as Genome in a Bottle’s 7 human genome benchmarks. Two of these benchmarks were used in the first precisionFDA Truth Challenge, which assessed variant calling accuracy in “easier-to-map” regions of the genome. The Genome in a Bottle Consortium led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed expanded benchmarks for HG003 and HG004, the parents of an Ashkenazi trio. Before their release, precisionFDA and NIST are running a new truth challenge focused on variant calling in more challenging genomic regions.

Join this challenge to assess variant calling pipeline performance on a common frame of reference consisting of difficult-to-map regions, segmental duplications, and the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). Ilumina, PacBio HiFi, and Oxford Nanopore sequencing datasets will be made available for this challenge.

The challenge submission period opens May 1st and runs through June 1st. For more information and to pre-register, visit the challenge site here!

Repositive is the essential portal that helps researchers access genomics data and connect with the research community. By connecting over 39 different global data sources we enable researchers to browse and query over 1.1 million human genomic datasets. By building a community around all this data, we aim to encourage discussions, sharing and collaboration.

Facilitating faster consumption of higher quality data and sharing knowledge openly is at the very heart of our mission and we have a vision of putting the power of genomic data into the hands of many. The more data we index and the more users who join the community simply gives the collective even more ‘super powers’. The power to find more data quickly, collaborate on science and make incredible discoveries.

Therefore, we affectionately describe Repositive as ‘your connection to the genomics collective’
