The GA4GH Regulatory and Ethics Work Stream (REWS) compiled and submitted comments to the WHO regarding its draft document. The document intends to offer a blueprint in governing the complete genomic data lifecycle, promoting inclusion, trust, and integrity in genomic data sharing, as well as highlighting its benefits at both individual and communal levels.
