Abstract

The ubiquity of DNA sequencing and the advent of medical imaging, electronic health records, and “omics” technologies have produced a deluge of data. Making meaning of those data—creating scientific knowledge and useful clinical information—will vastly exceed the capacity of even the largest institutions. Data must be shared to achieve the promises of genomic science and precision medicine.
