Previous ELIXIR Beacon Implementation Studies (IS) have incrementally developed Beacon. The aim of this IS to disseminate the Beacon and ELIXIR Beacon Network (EBN). The Beacon v2 draft2 was presented to ELIXIR, H2020 projects, and GA4GH partner - and was very well received. Consequently requests for implementing the extended Beacon v2 increased significantly. In this IS we plan to: 1) continue the successful collaboration with the GA4GH Discovery workstream as a Beacon team, 2) deploy testing– instances in clinical and non-clinical partners (H2020 projects, GA4GH Driver projects, and ELIXIR partners), 3) extend the ELIXIR Services specification to manage Beacon v2 instances, 4) extend security features towards real world needs, and 5) extend and improve EBN. This IS will contribute to ELIXIR 2019-2023 strategic goals 1, 2 and 5 by providing Beacons integrated in the EBN Infrastructure, contributing to the development of GA4GH standards, and empowering nodes to be part of the federated Network. As a GA4GH Driver project, ELIXIR Beacon contributes widely to the specification work done in GA4GH Discovery work stream. |

The generation of genomic data is rapidly expanding in amount and number of stakeholders, in biomedical applications and beyond. The utilization of such data beyond "single use" scenarios is of paramount importance, for reasons of efficient resource utilization but more importantly to empower federated data analysis models. The Beacon protocol was created to ease genomic data discoverability across multiple resources. The original concept enabled the query of multiple datasets for presence or absence of genetic variants and to aggregate the responses with pointers to the respective repositories. One powerful concept behind the protocol is that such queries can be enabled without permitting access to the datasets themselves. In the era of petabyte scale genomics data, this is crucial: Beacon users are able to query all datasets in a Beacon and apply for additional access only to dataset(s) that are known to contain data of interest. As an addition to the ongoing development of the Beacon protocol, increasing emphasis is on the utilization of the extended possibilities throughout ELIXIR resources and platforms. The proposed ELIXIR Beacon Network service enables human data discovery from European data resources. It integrates tightly in ELIXIR Core Data resources and other infrastructure services. |
