European Commission : CORDIS : News and Events : EU funded scientists build genome-based ‘reference library’ for blood diseases

"EU-funded researchers with the BLUEPRINT are collecting and analysing critical blood cell data in order to develop innovative new therapies for blood-related disorders. A new paper on how genome data (information regarding the genetic material of an organism such as DNA) can be made open-access – while at the same time ensuring that appropriate levels of privacy are maintained – has been published. The paper contains guidelines designed to both reduce ambiguity in the interpretation of open-access data and achieve controlled access."
