Swedish Reference Genome Portal Launch
November 8, 2024 @ 14:00 – 15:00 CET
Join us for the official launch of the Swedish Reference Genome Portal. This free service is developed and maintained by the DDLS Data Science Node in Evolution and Biodiversity (DSN-EB) team as part of the SciLifeLab Data Platform, operated by the SciLifeLab Data Centre. At this event, we will demonstrate how the Genome Portal reduces barriers to the visualisation and interpretation of genome data studied in Sweden, while facilitating collaboration, showcasing researchers’ work, and promoting Open Science and FAIR data sharing.
The Swedish Reference Genome Portal is a web platform for showcasing, aggregating, and visualising non-human eukaryotic genome assemblies and genome annotations (co-)produced by researchers affiliated with Swedish institutions. The Genome Portal aims to:
- Highlight and showcase genome research conducted in Sweden.
- Lower barriers to accessing, visualising, and interpreting genome data.
- Promote the publication of genomic annotations, which are rarely shared.
- Ensure all data displayed on the Genome Portal aligns with FAIR principles and is available in public repositories.
The DSN-EB team comprises system developers, data stewards, and bioinformaticians affiliated with SciLifeLab Data Centre and the National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS), based at Uppsala University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History.
This service is supported by SciLifeLab and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation through the Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) program, as well as by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF).
