To support investigator access to data from genome-wide association study initiatives at the National Institutes of Health and elsewhere, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine has created the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP), a public repository for individual-level phenotype, exposure, genotype, and sequence data, and the associations between them.
dbGaP provides unprecedented access to these large-scale genetic and phenotypic datasets, including public access to study documents linked to summary data on specific phenotype variables, statistical overviews of the genetic information, positions of published associations on the genome, and authorized access to individual-level data.
