🔗 Building interoperability in the Canadian Genomics Data Ecosystem and Beyond

Join our Data Literacy Webinar series with Dr. Emma Griffiths, University Research Associate at Simon Fraser University, as she shares practical examples of how data standards and cross-sector collaboration enable interoperable genomics data.

📅 June 29, 2026
🕤 9:30–10:30 AM PT
💻 Online

Drawing on real-world experience with platforms such as NCBI/ENA, Pathoplexus, and iMicroSeq and global initiatives such as PHA4GE, GA4GH, and HL7, this session highlights how strong standards support better data sharing, integration, and reuse.

In this session, you’ll learn:
✔️ How data standards enable interoperability across genomics systems
✔️ Why cross-sector and cross-jurisdiction collaboration is essential
✔️ Examples of effective data sharing between Canadian and international partners
✔️ How interoperability increases the value and usability of genomics data

🧬For our Genomic Repeat of the season, we’re diving back into an ocean mystery. Originally released in 2022, this episode explores the giants of the deep and the unique songs they share across hundreds of miles.

Dr. Kaylee Byers chats with whale biologists, filmmakers and paleobiologists to uncover how whale songs carry culture, evolve over millions of years and how human activity affects these underwater conversations. It’s a whale-sized journey you won’t want to miss!
