🧬 How can information from different sources help us better understand public health challenges? This edition of #GenomicsExplained explores data sharing and why it matters.
#PHA4GE #DataSharing
🧬 What does it take to turn pathogen genomic data into meaningful public health action? Lessons from #GMI16 in Tunis highlight the importance of data sharing, interoperability & the systems needed to strengthen global genomic surveillance.

🧬 What happens after genomic data is generated?
Bioinformatics uses computational methods to process, analyse and interpret that data — helping turn sequencing data into useful information for public health.

Great to see PHA4GE community members taking the stage at #GMI16 in Tunis. 🧬🌍
@torstenseemann, @happy_khan, @firefoxx66, @DoctorRuth and @EducatedMicrobe shared work on genomic surveillance, data platforms, metadata and data sharing.
#PHA4GE #GenomicSurveillance #OneHealth
🧬 Last time, #GenomicsExplained explored mutations, using AMR as an example of how genetic changes can matter. This week, we’re following that thread with a closer look at AMR.
