2005: The Genomics Standards Consortium
• A vast and rich body of information has grown up as a
result of the world’s enthusiasm for ’omics technologies.
Finding ways to describe and make available this
information that maximise its usefulness has become a
major effort across the ’omics world. At the heart of this
effort is the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC), an
open-membership organization that drives community-
based standardization activities,
• The GSC call for the scientific community to join forces to
improve the quality and quantity of contextual information
about our public collections of genomes, metagenomes,
and marker gene sequences.

The GSC’s Mission
• the implementation of new genomic standards
• methods of capturing and exchanging metadata
• harmonization of metadata collection and analysis efforts across the wider genomics community
![Page 27: Overview of EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute and ... · Overview of EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute and Interactions with CDISC ... community-agreed checklists and control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051509/5ad407af7f8b9a0f198e6887/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Community-driven solutions
The path:
• Identify the problem
• Define a community to address it
• Define scope of the solution
• Implement solution
• Gain adoption of solution

Early Success: development of MIAMI
Standard • MIAME describes the Minimum Information About a
Microarray Experiment that is needed to enable the
interpretation of the results of the experiment
unambiguously and potentially to reproduce the
experiment. [Brazma et al., Nature Genetics]
• The public repositories ArrayExpress at the EBI (UK),
GEO at NCBI (US) and CIBEX at DDBJ (Japan) are
designed to accept, hold and distribute MIAME compliant
microarray data.
![Page 41: Overview of EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute and ... · Overview of EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute and Interactions with CDISC ... community-agreed checklists and control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051509/5ad407af7f8b9a0f198e6887/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The six most critical elements contributing
towards MIAME are:
• The raw data for each hybridisation (e.g., CEL or GPR files)
• The final processed (normalised) data for the set of hybridisations in the
experiment (study) (e.g., the gene expression data matrix used to draw the
conclusions from the study)
• The essential sample annotation including experimental factors and their
values (e.g., compound and dose in a dose response experiment)
• The experimental design including sample data relationships (e.g., which raw
data file relates to which sample, which hybridisations are technical, which
are biological replicates)
• Sufficient annotation of the array (e.g., gene identifiers, genomic coordinates,
probe oligonucleotide sequences or reference commercial array catalog
number)
• The essential laboratory and data processing protocols (e.g., what
normalisation method has been used to obtain the final processed data)

MIBBI - Minimum Information for Biological
and Biomedical Investigations
• The MIBBI project promotes extant efforts developing
minimum information guidelines for the reporting of
biological and biomedical science to the wider
community. Background and history of the MIBBI project
can be found here. We work to progressively move the
information to this new site that is also set to provide
additional search and link functionality to connect
guidelines with terminologies and exchange format, as
used by the community.
• There are 38 MIBBI records in BioSharing –

Knowledge Exchange Workshops
• The Industry Programme organises high quality workshops and
symposia, providing expert level presentations and strategic
discussion opportunities for members and other key opinion
leaders.
• Workshops:
• Prioritised by the IP members based on proposals
• Organised through a planning team,
• Include key opinion leaders as speakers
• Include appropriate stakeholders
• By individual/collective invitation only.
• Facilitated
• Take a significant amount of planning

What happens after workshops?
• Presentations are made available in Industry members
website
• Short report
• Where appropriate EMBL-EBI will act as a coordinator or
broker in establishing pre-competitive
collaborations/initiatives between Industry programme
members (and third parties – academic groups, funding
organisations, other commercial companies)
• Publication: Examples from 2011
• MIABE paper in NRDD
• Tox ontology roadmap papers

A Global Alliance for sharing genomic
and clinical data • EMBL and EMBL-EBI have joined the Global Alliance, a large-scale,
international effort to enable the secure sharing of genomic and clinical data.
The Global Alliance invites commercial and not- for-profit organisations to
join forces with other leading data, health care, research, and disease
advocacy organisations to establish an evidence base for genomic research
and medicine that adheres to the highest standards of ethics and privacy.
• A White Paper circulated in early 2013 has the support of nearly 70
organisations in Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe, North America and South
America who are committed to creating a common framework that supports
data analysis and protects the autonomy and privacy of participating
individuals. Signatories of an accompanying Letter of Intent to create a not-
for-profit, inclusive, public–private, international, non-governmental
organisation include healthcare providers, research institutions, disease
advocacy groups, life science and information technology companies. Many
more are expected to join.

Summary
• EMBL-EBI is one of the global leaders in the storage,
annotation, interrogation and dissemination of large datasets
of relevance to the bio-industries.
• Standards are an important part of international data
exchange and effective utilisation of information.
• We work closely with industry in developing new standards.
• Major challenges remain.
