Gender bias in senior research roles at genomics/bioinformatics institutes

This dataset comprises details from 40 different academic institutes (or centers/departments) that specialize in genomics and/or bioinformatics. The vast majority (33/40) mention 'genome', 'genomics', or 'bioinformatics' in their title (the exceptions to this include the Broad Institute, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute). The 40 different institutes represent locations in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. In some cases, the named institute represents an umbrella organization connecting researchers in different locations across that country (e.g. the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics). I think that this dataset contains most of the widely known research institues that have a dedicated focus on genomics and bioinformatics. The list could probably be further expanded if I targeted more University departments that have a specialization in these fields. In total I logged the gender of <strong>1,039</strong> peope in various 'senior' research roles (e.g. Faculty, 'Group leaders', 'Project leaders', etc.). In many cases I deduced gender from first names, but looked for images of researchers where this was not easy to do so. I excluded any non-English-language institutions where I could not find a English version of their personnel page. The CSV table includes website links to the relevant pages of each institution that allowed me to determine the gender of senior researchers. Statistics were gathered on the 27th and 28th of June 2015. I stopped gathering data after reaching 40 research institutes.

本数据集收录了40家专注于基因组学（genomics）与/或生物信息学（bioinformatics）的学术机构（或研究中心、院系）的相关信息。其中绝大多数（33/40）的机构名称中包含“基因组（genome）”“基因组学（genomics）”或“生物信息学（bioinformatics）”字样，例外机构包括布罗德研究所（Broad Institute）、冷泉港实验室（Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory）以及惠康信托桑格研究所（Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute）。这40家机构分布于北美、欧洲、亚洲及澳大利亚。部分被收录的机构为覆盖本国多地研究人员的伞型统筹机构，例如瑞士生物信息学研究所（Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics）。本数据集涵盖了绝大多数广为人知的专注于基因组学与生物信息学的研究机构；若进一步收录该领域的高校院系，此列表或可进一步扩充。本次研究共记录了**1039**名担任各类“高级”研究职务人员的性别信息，职务包括教职人员、“团队负责人”“项目负责人”等。多数情况下，研究人员通过名字推断其性别；若难以通过名字判定，则通过检索研究人员的公开影像资料确认。本研究排除了无法找到英文人员页面的非英语国家机构。本数据集的CSV表格中附带了各机构相关页面的链接，这些页面可用于确认高级研究人员的性别信息。数据统计工作于2015年6月27日至28日完成。在收录满40家研究机构后，停止了数据收集工作。
