10 Simple Rules for Sharing Human Genomic Data

Abstract

Introduction Introduction Conclusion Competing Interests References Delivery of the promise of precision medicine relies heavily on human genomic data sharing. Sharing genome data generated through publicly funded projects maximises return on investment from taxpayer funds and increases the likelihood of obtaining funding in future rounds [1]. More importantly, genome data sharing makes it possible for other scientists to reuse existing datasets for further research and constitutes a direct measure of the current advancement in risk prediction, diagnosis, and treatment for genomic disorders [2].\n\nSharing of human genomic data carries responsibilities to protect confidentiality and the privacy of research participants [3]. In certain cases data sharing may be complicated or limited by agreements with ...
