GDI D6.4 - Report on global resources suitable for inclusion into the GDI

This deliverable (D6.4) extends the previous work conducted in Deliverable 6.2, which focused on European genomic resources, to a global scope. The aim was to systematically identify and describe global whole genome sequencing (WGS) resources and related datasets suitable for inclusion into the Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI).

Unlike D6.2, which was based primarily on questionnaire responses, this work was carried out through a structured and comprehensive search of publicly available information, scientific literature, and online resources.

We identified globally 67 projects across multiple continents. Together, these projects represent about 22 million individuals with genomic data (GWAS/exome/WGS).

The findings highlight the immense scale of genomic data resources worldwide and their potential to enrich the European 1+ Million Genomes (1+MG) initiative with greater diversity and statistical power.
