GHGA organized an interdisciplinary workshop entitled “Towards building a national genome data infrastructure - Synergies and Challenges”. Over 50 participants from various institutions and organizations, ranging from clinical practice to fundamental research, discussed how to set up a Genome Data Infrastructure for Germany. The new structure needs to fulfill both the needs for an innovative diagnostics program and serve as an infrastructure delivering invaluable genome data for fundamental and translational research. As a follow-up of this workshop, a white paper is in preparation summarizing key points discussed during the workshop.
