| Abstract |
There are many challenges and opportunities for Africans in the emerging area of genome medicine. In particular, there is a need for investment in local education using real-world African genetic data sets. Cloud-based computing platforms offer one solution for engaging the next generation of biomedical scientists in tackling disease in Africa, and by extension, the world. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 29. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 November 2019.
All research outputs
#1,306,264
of 24,862,067 outputs
Outputs from Genome Medicine
#272
of 1,530 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#16,255
of 272,975 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Genome Medicine
#9
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,862,067 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,530 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 27.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 272,975 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
