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 promise of genomic science and precision medicine.
