• Ideally each European nation state should
establish an “Institute for Biomedical
informatics” and EMBL-EBI should interact with
them
• In bigger nations, this is likely to be a network,
but with a centre of gravity
• EMBL-EBI (and ELIXIR) will handle research
style data, sharing it between researchers
(including clinical researchers)
• These “BMI” institutes will have responsibility for
exploiting molecular reference data and ensure
“open research” data flows back to enhance the
core reference data at EMBL-EBI and is made
available to researchers

Global standards: the GA4GH
• GA4GH is the standards-setting
body for genomics in healthcare
• Embraces federated approach
• Setting community standards early
• Cloud: Analysis carried out where the data ‘lives’
• “You’re already using it!”: SAM/BAM/CRAM/VCF formats
• Tools: htsget – the first step away from file-based access
• Rare disease diagnoses: Matchmaker Exchange
• Federated discovery: GA4GH Beacons
