Data Standards Hackathon - developing a new way to exchange NGS data for HLA and KIR
September 26 & 27, 2014 The hackathon occurred immediately following the FDA Public Workshop: Next-Generation Sequencing Standards. The FDA workshop was focused on next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, data formats standardization and promotion of interoperability protocols.
The goal of the hackathon was to:
- have implementers work to integrate a toolset with the various NGS systems and analysis software packages currently in use.
Hackathon attendees should be prepared to provide feedback on:
- how well the tools work together,
- how they work with extant NGS software and standards,
- elements that need fixing (and fix them),
- additional elements required to qualify as a MIBBI.
The hackathon’s success was measured by our ability to achieve interoperability for the community and a vetted MIRING and HML 1.0.
