Genomic Standards Consortium

The Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) is an open-membership working body formed in September 2005. The aim of the GSC is making genomic data discoverable. The GSC enables genomic data integration, discovery and comparison through international community-driven standards.

This project is maintained by GenomicsStandardsConsortium

GSC Publications

The GSC aims to make its activities transparent to the wider community through maintenance of a GSC website and when relevant, publication of GSC led articles. GSC Projects are an outgrowth of the activities surrounding the creation and implementation of the MIxS standard within the GSC. These efforts cover an ever widening range of standardization activities. Furthermore, two umbrella publications titled Genomic standards consortium projects and The Genomic Standards Consortium detail how these projects are initiated and integrated within GSC.

The publications in the collection linked below are either directly or indirectly related to these projects.
