In this video, Dr Ewan Harries shares his experiences dealing with legal considerations when sharing data among partners from different countries. Read more about the challenges and limitations of data …

When and why to obtain sequencing data

As humans, we have an innate ability and even NEED to spot patterns. Psychologists have found that we use patterns to build rules that guide us to make faster and …

Pros and cons of public databases for data sharing

The collaborative nature of bioinformatics and genomics research requires openness and data sharing amongst scientists, researchers and innovators. Bioinformatics databases represent organised bodies of data associated with computer software designed …

Data quality metrics

Large-scale sequencing – a limitation to the quality Since the pandemic began multiple consortiums and collaborations between public and private sectors have been established to sequence and publish the SARS-CoV-2 …

Best practices for data sharing

Today you can sequence the SARS-CoV-2 genome within hours once a case of COVID-19 positive is identified. This has enabled the creation of molecular diagnostic assays, improved global preparedness, and …

How and where to obtain the public data
