COLLABORATING INITIATIVES
A central goal of the CGDC is to build a national data-sharing ecosystem that accelerates genomic discovery and translation into clinical care. By fostering deep collaboration across clinical laboratories, large-scale research initiatives, and a broad network of stakeholders, the CGDC aims to align priorities and unlock greater collective impact for both research and patient outcomes.
Pan-Canadian Genome Library (PCGL)
The CGDC works closely with the Pan-Canadian Genome Library (PCGL), funded by the Canadian Institute of Health Research and led by team of Canadian geneticists, aims to establish a framework for managing and sharing human genomic data. In an era where the size and complexity of genomic datasets are rapidly increasing, Canada is uniquely positioned to leverage its world-leading expertise in genomics and data-sharing policies. The PCGL is creating a national strategy to capture, store and access Canadian data in an equitable, secure and sustainable manner. The PCGL will establish a federated data management system that adheres to international standards that respects jurisdictional and cultural nuances in the movement of human genetic data. The PCGL builds upon Canadian-made foundational components and datasets and utilizes international standards to unify Canada’s human genome sequencing efforts.
