T. A. van Schaik et alThe need to redefine genomic data sharing: a focus on data
accessibility, Applied & Translational Genomics, 2014

Researchers spend months to find and access genomic data, and often choose to not access
data at all
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015
Genomes Sequenced
~400k genomes produced
And how do you keep up?
And how do you keep up?
Data is uploaded to repository
Data is discovered by potential user
Data is accessed by potential user
What IF?You could easily search and
discover data?
You could rank data by relevance?
Registering data was simple to do?
Search would be easy
figshare.com
Overview would be simple
Collaboration would be easy
My research
Through your daily work routine you gain visibility
for potential collaborators
You would discover new resources you did not
know existed
Making your contribution would be easy

It has taken a while…
DNAdigest was founded in March 2013
Working out what to do
Making data discoverable and shareable
Building through collaboration
DNAdigest organises hackathons/workshops 4 times a year
We founded Repositive
To make genomic data accessible for research
Adrian Alexa CTO & Data Scientist
Fiona NielsenFounder & CEO
A portal to search for data
