A recently launched European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) task involves a consortium of partners from 20 European countries. It volition facilitate a cross-border federated web of nationalist genome collections for biomedical probe and personalized medicine.
The purpose of the GDI task is to recognize the 1+ Million Genomes initiative’s ambition of creating a information infrastructure that volition alteration unafraid entree to genomics and corresponding objective information crossed Europe. The GDI task seeks to unlock a information web of implicit 1 cardinal genome sequences for probe and objective reference. This volition make unprecedented opportunities for transnational and multi-stakeholder actions successful personalized medicine for common, uncommon and infectious diseases.
The 1+MG inaugural was signed successful 2018 and aims to alteration unafraid entree to genomics and corresponding objective information crossed Europe. This volition pb to amended research, personalized healthcare and wellness policymaking. The Beyond 1 Million Genomes (B1MG) task started successful 2020 and is processing guidelines for implementing the 1+MG Initiative and creating blueprints and recommendations for creating federated networks of genomic data.
The caller €40 cardinal GDI task is being coordinated by ELIXIR (the European life-sciences Infrastructure for biologic Information), an inaugural that allows beingness subject laboratories crossed Europe to stock and store their probe information arsenic portion of an organized network. GDI is jointly funded by the European Commission nether the Digital Europe Programme and done co-funding from participating Member States.
The GDI task volition marque information accessible for research, objective notation and argumentation improvement uses done 3 pillars of work, supported by a coordination enactment package.
Pillar I brings unneurotic state representatives to hold connected a semipermanent governance model, a ineligible model and a concern exemplary for the infrastructure. These volition guarantee the infrastructure continues to run aft the extremity of the GDI project.
Pillar II implements the infrastructure by expanding the interoperability of European information resources. It ensures these resources tin run arsenic portion of the 1+MG infrastructure and are acceptable to entree erstwhile the required agreements are successful place. “Real” synthetic information volition beryllium utilized to show and validate the infrastructure, and information provided from EU projects nether their existent agreements.
Pillar III guides the implementation of the task done cardinal usage cases (for example, the Genome of Europe, crab information and infectious illness data). It works with clinicians, researchers and innovators to place solutions that could signifier portion of the infrastructure.
In a abstracted announcement, Ireland said it has officially joined the 1+ Million Genomes (1+MG) Initiative. Ireland besides plans to motorboat a National Strategy for Accelerating Genomic Medicine connected Dec. 13.
