Genomic connections #3 – DNA Metadata and FAIR Play with Joana Pauperio

The European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) and the European node of the International Barcode of Life (iBOL Europe), two international communities of scientists brought together under the Biodiversity Genomics Europe Project, are joining forces for “Genomic Connections,” a podcast show exploring the fascinating world of Biodiversity Genomics and the intersection of their communities. 

In the third episode of Genomic Connections, Kasia and Christian chat with Joana Pauperio, Biodiversity Project Manager at the European Nucleotide Archive, in the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI). They discuss the concept of “metadata,” why it is crucial to ensure high-quality research, and some best practices scientists should follow to ensure the data they produce is FAIR—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
