Problem

“Researchers believe that the data collected from across the world: China, Australia, United States, Iran, Europe with public research-funds should be freely, immediately and readily accessible to all members of the global scientific community.” ref

The primary concern of researchers is data privacy, data security and data provenance.

With Tragen, we aim to change power dynamics from the centralised, private institution to the open culture of researchers community via a distributed network.

By providing a simple, user-friendly open platform, purpose-built for Genomic Sequence research collaboration that establishes the provenance of research outputs, and accelerates sharing, developing vaccines/medicines and citation recognition for contributions to the scholarly record. And put the rights over their own data in the hand of researchers.
