Share a brief history of your project and organization

At Ghost Byte Inc, we are a dedicated storage provider looking to onboard data and contribute to the testing of onboarding tools. As an active participant in North America's weekly calls, we take pride in our involvement in the Filecoin community by assisting fellow members on the Slack channel, providing feedback on beta software, and consistently offering support within the community.

Our collaboration with industry partners is focused on fostering growth in web3 adoption, and we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of decentralized storage solutions. For more information on our activities and contributions, you can refer to this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PejYUlN0AM

The Human Pangenome Reference Consortium is a collaborative initiative aimed at creating a more sophisticated and complete human reference genome. The current human reference genome, which serves as the most widely used resource in human genetics, is primarily based on merged haplotypes from over 20 individuals, with a single individual comprising most of the sequence. This linear composite structure contains biases and errors and lacks representation of global human genomic variation.

Recognizing the need for an improved reference genome, the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium was formed to develop a high-quality, graph-based, telomere-to-telomere representation of global genomic diversity. The consortium leverages innovations in technology, study design, and global partnerships to construct the highest-possible quality human pangenome reference.

The ultimate goal of the project is to improve data representation and streamline analyses for the routine assembly of complete diploid genomes. By incorporating a more accurate and diverse representation of global genomic variation, the human pangenome reference will enhance gene-disease association studies across populations, expand the scope of genomics research to the most repetitive and polymorphic regions of the genome, and serve as the ultimate genetic resource for future biomedical research and precision medicine. The project is also committed to addressing ethical considerations to ensure that the human pangenome reference is developed responsibly and fairly.

Describe the data being stored onto Filecoin

Each parent in the trio was sequenced with Illumina short reads, each child was sequenced with Illumina short reads, 10X Genomics, Nanopore, PacBio CLR and HiFi, Bionano and Hi-C.

For nanopore datasets, each folder contains the fast5, fastq (basecalled with Guppy 2.3.5 flip flop with the high accuracy model), and a sequencing summary file.

For PacBio CLR data, each folder contains a subread bam file which can be converted to fasta/q using either bam2fastq or samtools fasta. The HiFi folders contain ccs.bam files which have already been converted from subreads into high-fidelity reads. As before, they can be converted to fasta/q using bam2fastq or samtools fasta.

For Bionano data, each folder contains both the assembled optical map (cmap) and the individual molecules (bnx.gz)

For the remaining short-read data, each folder contains one or more subfolders with fastq.gz files.

Confirm that this is a public dataset that can be retrieved by anyone on the Network

• [X] I confirm

If you chose not to confirm, what was the reason

Data retrieval is expected to be used for testing or disaster recovery purposes. All storage providers must allow retrievals at a reasonable rate, taking into account the current capabilities of the Filecoin network. To maintain the most efficient storage rates for the given use case, unsealed copies will not be required when storing this dataset.

Storage providers will be periodically tested to ensure that their data remains retrievable within a reasonable timeframe, set at a maximum of 12 hours. If any issues are identified, the problematic storage provider will be contacted to resolve the issue immediately or be removed from the project if necessary.

What is the expected retrieval frequency for this data

Sporadic

For how long do you plan to keep this dataset stored on Filecoin

1.5 to 2 years

In which geographies do you plan on making storage deals

Greater China, Asia other than Greater China, Africa, North America, South America, Europe, Australia (continent), Antarctica

How will you be distributing your data to storage providers

Others

How do you plan to choose storage providers
