Dear colleagues,
Here at last is the QC-survey for geuvadis. I kindly ask each partner to
answer it and send back to me by *11 August* at the latest.
As the survey covers both laboratory details and bioinformatics I
suggest that each principal investigator at each site delegates the task
to the appropriate person(s).
For question 11 and 22: You don't have to describe every data analysis
pipeline you have, that would be to much to ask. Please choose one or
two you use the most and/or one that you have particular expertise in.
Please don't hesitate to ask me if there is something that is unclear.
Thank you and best summer greetings to all of you.
Mathias

Subject: Please forward - Petition to protect EU science budget
Dear colleagues,
The discussions at the next summit of the European Union heads of state or government, which is scheduled for 22 and 23 November, will be decisive in determining the EU research budget for the next seven years. Several Member States are demanding severe cuts on the total EU budget and research will have to compete with other policy priorities.
This is a time when we, the scientific community, should act together and make our case to protect research funding, including that of the European Research Council (ERC), from cuts. Decisions will be prepared in discussions among politicians at the national level. All of us must look for opportunities to affect these decisions and send a strong signal to the heads of state or government.
An open letter signed by European Nobel laureates has been published in top European newspapers this week. The impact of this letter will be increased if it is followed by a mobilization of the national scientific communities. To keep the momentum going, an online petition has been launched:
http://www.no-cuts-on-research.eu
I would like to ask you to sign it and to encourage all your colleagues to do likewise. Note that in the past, less than 30 000 scientists signed the largest petition for a European scientific cause compared to the hundreds of thousands of signatures on petitions from other groups of society. We must do better than that.
This action is coordinated by the Initiative for Science in Europe (ise(a)i-se.org<mailto:ise@i-se.org>; www.initiative-science-europe.org<http://www.initiative-science-europe.org>), of which EMBO is a member. Please contact Wolfgang Eppenschwandtner, Executive Coordinator of the ISE if you have any questions or suggestions.

THE GEUVADIS PROJECT - More information on our website: www.geuvadis.eu<file:///C:\Users\gbertier\Documents\GEUVADIS\Annual%20Meeting%202\www.geuvadis.eu>
The latest high-throughput next-generation sequencing technologies allow investigators to sequence entire human genomes and transcriptomes at an affordable price and within a short time frame. An increasing number of research centers in Europe have access to these technologies, in-house or through regional, national and international infrastructures. Storing, disseminating and analysing the large amount of data produced generate major challenges. Tackling these challenges requires extensive exchange of data, information and knowledge between sequencing centers, bio-informatics networks, the medical research community and the industry at the European level. The GEUVADIS (Genetic EUropean VAriation in DISease) Consortium has four main aims:
1. Develop standards in quality control and assessment of sequence data
2. Develop models for sequencing data storage, access and exchange
3. Develop standards for the handling, analysis and interpretation of sequencing data from DNA (and RNA)
4. Develop guidelines on the handling of ethical, legal and social implications of phenotype prediction from sequence variation
* PURPOSE OF SURVEY
1. Collect quantitative and qualitative information on the current status of DNA sequence production, storage, exchange and analysis in Europe.
2. Collect feedback from research/clinical centers on their main challenges and difficulties regarding the management of these large data-sets potentially containing important medical information
3. Collect information on local standardization efforts, and avoid duplication of efforts throughout Europe
4. Create a road-map/policy document outlining the necessary steps to take national standards to the European level
* POTENTIAL PUBLICATION OF RESULTS
1. Results of this survey will be presented at an internal GEUVADIS workshop, on October 30-31st 2012.
2. We will disseminate the road-map to potential funders (private of public), including the European Commission and other possible national public funders.
3. We will submit an abstract to the Joint Conference of Human Genome Meeting 2013 and 21st International Congress of Genetics.

In preparation of the Workshop, and to collect quantitative and qualitative information on the status of NGS in Europe, we have constructed a survey<https://qtrial.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_bHJDue550PwdFrv> to be distributed to all Research and/or clinical institutions using NGS in Europe.
The survey covers the following aspects: Technology available (number/type of sequencers, nb of runs, capture method) - Data Use (clinical/research uses) - Patients/participants (origin of samples, consent forms, incidental findings...) - Data storage - Data analysis (general information on analysis pipelines) - Clinical data management - Problems and suggestions.
We would highly appreciate if you could distribute this survey to all your relevant colleagues working in such centers, and fill in the survey for your own institution. We'll also send this survey to the European and National Societies of Human Genetics, and the more responses we get the better !
