International federation of genomic medicine databases using GA4GH standards. Cell Genom. 2021 Nov 10;1(2):100032. doi: 10.1016/j.xgen.2021.100032. PMID: 35128509; PMCID: PMC8813094.
We promote a shared vision and guide for how and when to federate genomic and health-related data sharing, enabling connections and insights across independent, secure databases. The GA4GH encourages a federated approach wherein data providers have the mandate and resources to share, but where data cannot move for legal or technical reasons. We recommend a federated approach to connect national genomics initiatives into a global network and precision medicine resource.
