ELIXIR-EXCELERATE D10.2: Blueprint on how to set up an ELIXIR data Node

This report describes how to set up a local/federated node in EGA (European Genome-phenome Archive). Human biomedical research data is often sensitive in nature, and projects consequently have strong requirements on IT security, data access control, and data management. The rapid increase in human genome sequence data, and the heterogeneous legal landscape among different countries for this type of data, makes it evident that a federated EGA organisation is the optimal solution for the future.
