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 1,039 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”“基因组学”或“生物信息学”字样，仅三家机构除外，分别为布罗德研究所（Broad Institute）、冷泉港实验室（Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory）以及威康桑格研究所（Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute）。这40家机构分布于北美、欧洲、亚洲与澳大利亚。部分被命名的机构为覆盖该国不同地区研究者的伞状组织，例如瑞士生物信息学研究所（Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics）。本数据集涵盖了目前多数广为人知的、专注于基因组学与生物信息学领域的研究机构，若进一步检索相关领域的大学院系，该列表或可进一步扩充。本次统计共记录了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，研究人员的性别通过其名字推断得出，若难以通过名字判断，则通过检索研究者的公开图像进行确认。本数据集排除了无法找到英文人事页面的非英语国家机构。CSV表格中包含了各机构相关页面的网址链接，借此可查询用于确定高级研究人员性别的相关信息。相关统计数据采集于2015年6月27日与28日，当收录满40家研究机构后，即停止数据采集工作。
