Learn more about the four groups! Anyone in the genomics and health community is welcome to participate. You will work alongside contributors from around the world to explore and build GA4GH products. The groups are:

1. Experiments Metadata Standard, drafting a checklist for capturing crucial information about genomics experiments to make finding and comparing data easier, and to reduce potential biases during data analysis;
2. Ethical Preparedness for Pandemics and Epidemics (EPPE) Framework, writing a practical framework for use during global disease outbreaks to ensure research is conducted ethically, despite occurring at a faster pace;
3. Categorical Variation (CatVar) Study Group, exploring how to model the categories of variation that carry key evidence about whether a certain gene variant leads to disease;
4. Data Model and Schema Consensus (DaMaSC) Study Group (newly relaunched), exploring how to better align GA4GH Work Streams to avoid making biomedical data silos worse.
