🤔 What is the 1+Million Genomes Initiative? How will the Initiative benefit you? 💡 To answer these questions, the Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) project has released three videos about the #1MGenomes Initiative. In the videos, we interviewed 🎙️ the GDI Coordinator and partners and experts from Finland, Sweden, Italy and Ireland to highlight how the Initiative and the project could benefit different stakeholders, including healthcare professionals, researchers, patients and citizens 🌍. 🙌 As our interviewees addressed in the video, “#Genomics 🧬 has the potential to revolutionise healthcare, develop more targeted #PersonalisedMedicines, therapies and interventions to enable better diagnostics a prevention.” Check the videos 👉 https://loom.ly/h_odqZM (The videos are filmed and edited by indiepics.)

🤔 How do we determine whether a health condition is related to a specific gene? The answer lies in variant summary data 🧬 - data that summarises information about #gene variants. 🙌 This GDI demonstration video showcases how to look up variant summary data in and across GDI datasets. Using severe #COVID19 conditions as an example, the video demonstrates a clinician using the GDI allele frequency browser to find out 🔍 whether the DNA change found in a patient is related to severe COVID-19 outcomes.

🎯 The European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) project creates a secure network where #genomic and #phenotypic data can be shared and analysed across Europe 🌍. 🤔 How can this help researchers? GDI has recently published a demonstration video using synthetic data (artificial data that mimics real-world data). 🙌 The video follows a cancer researcher's journey using the European Genomic Data Infrastructure to access and analyse #cancer genomic data.

🙌 The European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) project has released two videos 📽️ demonstrating how the 1+Million Genomes technical infrastructure can benefit scientists, patients and #healthcare providers. The first video follows a cancer researcher accessing colorectal cancer data 🧬 and is targeted at more technical viewers. The second shows allele lookup of monogenic causes of severe #COVID19 🦠 outcomes from a non-technical user’s perspective. The videos demonstrate the use of the central #GDIUserPortal, which can be used for both public or registered-access queries.
