Data Coordination Centre

The Data Coordination Centre will enable scientists to find, use, and share data generated by the Initiative, increasing the speed of scientific breakthroughs. 

In partnership with the clusters and other partners such as EMBL-EBI and BioFAIR, we will develop a scalable data sharing platform to enable datasets across diverse modalities to be linked and annotated according to requirements for federated analysis.

From the outset, the Initiative will embrace the ethos of open and reproducible research and adopt the principles of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data. We will establish core data standards that enable datasets to be compared, integrated and reproduced, with raw data being explicitly linked to experimental meta-data and sample information. All experimental protocols, resources, analysis code and informatic pipelines developed as part of the initiative will be openly shared to facilitate utility and reproducibility.

We’ll align with international and national genomics projects, such as the UKRI National Mouse Genetics Network, to ensure that data is compatible and shared globally, advancing our understanding of genomics and accelerating the impact of research.
