The openEHR Genomics Project - PubMed

The openEHR Genomics Project - PubMed



Abstract

Current high-throughput sequencing technologies allow us to acquire entire genomes in a very short time and at a relatively sustainable cost, thus resulting in an increasing diffusion of genetic test capabilities, in specialized clinical laboratories and research centers. In contrast, it is still limited the impact of genomic information on clinical decisions, as an effective interpretation is a challenging task. From the technological point of view, genomic data are big in size, have a complex granular nature and strongly depend on the computational steps of the generation and processing workflows. This article introduces our work to create the openEHR Genomic Project and the set of genomic information models we developed to catch such complex structure and to preserve data provenance efficiently in a machine-readable format. The models support clinical actionability of data, by improving their quality, fostering interoperability and laying the basis for re-usability.
Keywords: genomic models; mutations; openEHR; structured data; variations.
