Platform updates
A 'Bring Your Own Data (BYOD) workshop' on WikiPathways, nano pubs and the Rett Syndrome was held in Maastricht, Netherlands last week. A full report from the workshop will follow. The report from the BYOD workshop for rare disease registries held in Rome in September is available now. A second webinar on the process for the selection of ELIXIR Core Data Resources will take place next Monday 14 November 2016 at 15.00 CET in order to answer any questions from Nodes on what is expected from the submissions.
As agreed with the Heads of Nodes committee this will be a preliminary process with the primary purpose of understanding if this is an effective, excellence driven approach. If you are considering any submissions speak to your Head of Node.
