A federated ecosystem for sharing genomic, clinical data
Early data-sharing efforts have led to improved variant interpretation and development of treatments for rare diseases and some cancer types (1–3). However, such benefits will only be available to the general population if researchers and clinicians can access and make comparisons across data from millions of individuals. Read the full article here.

Timing and causes of mid-Holocene mammoth extinction on St. Paul Island, Alaska
Abstract: Relict woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) populations survived on several small Beringian islands for thousands of years after mainland populations went extinct. Here we present multiproxy paleoenvironmental records to investigate the timing, causes, and consequences of mammoth disappearance from St. Paul Island, Alaska. Five independent indicators of extinction show that mammoths survived on St. Paul…

Cancer Genomic Data Sharing Advancing Globally Though Challenges Remain, Survey Finds
Turna Ray NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Although more researchers and oncologists around the world are genomically testing patients and sharing their findings with each other, they are using different platforms, bioinformatics approaches, and operating under restrictive country-specific laws, a survey by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health has found. The GA4GH, an international coalition…
