Human [[Genomics|genomic]] data are large and complex, and require adequate infrastructure for secure storage and transfer. The [[National Institutes of Health]] (NIH) and The Wellcome Trust have funded multiple projects on genomic research, including the Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) initiative, and data are required to be deposited into the public domain. The European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) is a repository for [[Sequencing|sequence]] and genotype data where data access is controlled by access committees. Access is determined by a formal application procedure for the purpose of secure storage and distribution, which must be in line with the informed consent of the study participants. H3Africa researchers based in Africa and generating their own data can benefit tremendously from the data sharing capabilities of the internet by using the appropriate technologies. The H3Africa Data Archive is an effort between the H3Africa data generating projects, H3ABioNet, and the EGA to store and submit genomic data to public repositories.

"Laboratory testing for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in suspected human cases"

This document provides interim guidance to laboratories and stakeholders involved in COVID-19 virus laboratory testing of patients. It is based in part on the interim guidance on laboratory testing for Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus. Information on human infection with the COVID-19 virus is evolving and the World Health Organization (WHO) continues to monitor developments and revise recommendations as necessary. This document will be revised as new information becomes available. Feedback is welcome and can be sent to WHElab@who.int. The virus has now been named SARS-CoV-2 by the International Committee of Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV)(2). This virus can cause the disease named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). WHO refers to the virus as COVID-19 virus in its current documentation. (Full article...)
