About The following information is a placeholder for GKS’ new landing page. We are maintaining this as an interim solution. The information shown here should be considered minimal.
The “Genomic Knowledge Standards” (GKS) work stream is one of the elements of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health ( GA4GH ), aimed at developing standard formats for the exchange of genomic data for research and biomedical applications. All members of this team must follow the GA4GH Standards of Professional Conduct .
The current focus of GKS lies in the evaluation and definitions of forward-looking formats and implementations for representation and annotation of genomic variants.
