International Team Calls for More Open, Unrestricted Genomic Data Sharing

Members of an international team led by investigators in Switzerland, Germany, and the US are calling for increased access to genomics data, including data that has ostensibly been made public but remains difficult or slow to access.

For a policy forum paper published online today in Science, Ioannidis and his colleagues explored some of the existing impediments to genomic data sharing, both before and after publication. But they also outlined strategies for incentivizing the type of data openness that they believe will spur more extensive and meaningful analyses.
