The GA4GH Genomic Knowledge Standards Work Stream will host an interactive webinar on Wednesday, June 2 at 19:00 UTC to support the community in using the GA4GH Variation Representation Specification.
"DRS was developed by a GA4GH working group to make it easier for platforms like Terra to connect to those various repositories in order to make the data available for analysis in a way that would be consistent across platforms and sustainable over time. Specifically, one important goal of the standard is to enable individual researchers to access and use data without having to know anything about how the data repositories are engineered, or what are the exact locations of the data files."
The Genomics in Health Implementation Forum (GHIF) aims to empower knowledge exchange and collaboration among global genomics initiatives. The GHIF webinar series helps groups implement GA4GH standards in real-world settings.
