The initial 2019-2021 hCNV community implementation study employed a set of perceived needs to a) deliver first community standards and procedures; b) identify intersections with other ELIXIR communities and stakeholders in ELIXIR connected organizations, such as GA4GH; and c) to streamline priorities for relevant, achievable deliveries of hCNV community projects. This project for an hCNV implementation study focuses on those potential high-value targets for data access and delivery, using reference resources and community stakeholder engagement to directly implement and test hCNV resources aligned with ELIXIR ecosystems.
The main target here will be the empowerment of the Beacon protocol, to act as standard for federated hCNV discovery and data delivery, in conjunction with additional GA4GH derived standards.
