SUMMARY:Genome BC's Data Literacy Series - The Power of Metadata: Maximizing Research Impact with protocols.io and Metadata Commons
DESCRIPTION:The next webinar in our Data Literacy Series will explore two innovative platforms reshaping health research. Genome BC’s Health Metadata Commons serves as a central hub for storing and sharing metadata related to human biological samples and omics research data. This facilitates data reuse\, accelerates scientific breakthroughs and advances personalized medicine. Meanwhile\, protocols.io provides a secure space for developing and disseminating reproducible research methods\, addressing the lack of detailed instructions in research papers. The platform enhances reproducibility and gives credit to method developers. \nWhat you’ll learn in this session: \n\nWhat is metadata\nBenefits of Genome BC’s Metadata Commons\nUnderstand the importance of detailed methods for reproducibility.\nGain familiarity with the protocols.io platform.

SUMMARY:Genome BC's Data Literacy Series - Accelerating Europe's Response to Biodiversity Threats: The European Reference Genome Atlas
DESCRIPTION:Some scientists consider the biodiversity crisis to be a greater threat than climate change. Over 37\,000 species worldwide (28% of all species) are at risk of extinction. \nA reference genome is a digital nucleic acid sequence database assembled by scientists as a representative example of the set of genes in one idealized individual organism of a species. Reference genomes provide the most complete insight into the genetic basis that forms each species and represent a powerful resource in understanding how biodiversity functions. With approximately one-fifth of the ~200\,000 European species at risk of extinction\, European scientists decided to act fast and together to generate high-quality complete genome resources on a large scale. \nWhat you’ll learn in this session: \n\nWhat the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) is\nERGA’s impact on the scientific community and beyond\nExamples of recent genomes completed and how they will improve knowledge and applications\nFuture plans: scaling up genome production for the European biodiversity

SUMMARY:Genome BC's Data Literacy Series - Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare and Research
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT GENOME BC’S DATA LITERACY SERIES \nGenome BC is thrilled to present our ongoing series on Data Literacy. This series aims to bring national and international experts together to help deepen our understanding of different data related initiatives\, standards and resources. \nDeveloping a better shared understanding of benefits and risks related to data will help advance data collection\, sharing and use in sectors such as health\, agrifood and natural resources. For example\, much of the datasets resulting from Genome BC funded projects have value and utility beyond the purpose for which they are originally generated. Unlocking their potential is an interdisciplinary and translational challenge which requires the engagement of multiple stakeholders including funders\, data providers\, innovators\, researchers and end users.

SUMMARY:Genome BC's Data Literacy Series - WHO Guiding Principles for Pathogen Genome Data Sharing
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS EVENT\nAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO)\, the capacity for pathogen genomics around the world is advancing rapidly. And while advances are welcome\, there are inequities in access to new technologies in global surveillance that put us all at risk. \nJoin us for the next session in our ongoing Data Literacy Series as Dr. Vasee Moorthy presents the WHO Guiding Principles for Pathogen Genome Data Sharing. These principles chart a path for timely sharing of pathogen genome data\, while acknowledging the legitimate concerns and needs of scientists around the world that are the originators of this data. \nAs the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and begins to build a stronger global architecture for health emergency preparedness and response\, these guiding principles are a much-needed tool for constructing a more equitable and transparent global system that keeps us all safer. \nWhat you’ll learn in this session: \n\nWhat the WHO Guiding principles for pathogen genome data sharing are\nWhy real-time pathogen data sharing is crucial and what was learned in the COVID-19 pandemic\nHow inequities in access to new technologies for pathogen genomics can lead to blind spots in global surveillance that put us all at risk\nWhy global standards for sharing pathogen genomic data are necessary\n\nABOUT THIS SERIES \nGenome BC is thrilled to present our ongoing series on Data Literacy. This series aims to bring national and international experts together to help deepen our understanding of different data related initiatives\, standards and resources. \nDeveloping a better shared understanding of benefits and risks related to data will help advance data collection\, sharing and use in sectors such as health\, agrifood and natural resources.
