Finding genomic and clinical information can be challenging in a world full of data 🔎🧬 What if there was a tool to help?
Check this video about #GA4GH Beacon, the API that works as a search engine for specific queries on genomic and biomedical data ▶️↘️
As one of the #GA4GH Beacon leads I’m happy about seeing the increasing uptake of this genomic data discovery protocol - and we try to help with our own “bycon” implementation (github.com/progenetix/bycon/; the one running progenetix.org). But increasing uptake => more requests for help & support ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Attached: 1 image #Beacon 🧬 is designed to enable the benefits of data discovery while minimising the associated risks. 🔍 It is a Global Alliance for Genomics and Health API specification, allowing easy discovery of sensitive data that require controlled (authorised) access. Today’s #ELIXIRFridayReads shares 12 quick tips for deploying a Beacon ➡️ https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1011817 European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA)
