Domain page Human Pathogen Genomics

[wna-se]

What topic do you wish to add?
Human pathogen genomics analyses the genetic code of disease-causing organisms. This information can be used by researchers and public health authorities to identify and understand the pathogen and by extension to prevent and respond to outbreaks and to develop remedies such as treatments and vaccines.

Are there existing pages in the RDMkit website related to the requested page?
Not specifically on this topic but general DM task pages and phases

Resources
Minimum viable page during RDMkit Contentathon May 2023 (group 3) with continuation in Converge WP9 Task Group RDMkit and possible some activities in BY-COVID related to the Infectious Diseases Toolkit (IDTk).

Context
Initial focus: Content related to SARS-CoV-2 genome data management generalised to viruses and bacteria more broadly but still limited to human pathogens. Examples of content:

• Specimen collected from human host, extracted/isolated produce
• Outbreak data sharing and analysis efforts, both public health surveillance and research studies
• Challenges related to data sharing with samples collected from human hosts and from within health care
• Filtering fragments of human DNA from viral genome reads
• Masking research subject/patient information subject/patient information
• Whats is sensitive data and what is not
