Scientific SubCommittee: IT and Informatics
Science requires reproducibility. For EBP this means that raw sequence data, output references, and assembly, annotation, and analysis software pipelines be publicly available and usable worldwide. Additionally, the EBP is both a global challenge requiring international co-ordination, and, a once in a lifetime project for all humanity. The ongoing 6th mass extinction requires storage of EBP data for future generations. The IT and informatics standards committee will suggest standards and protocols to enable the EBP to meet the challenges of Phase I in the near term, with suggestions for expansion to later phases.
