A database of genotypes and phenotypes with extensive variation data and clinical details
Tutorial and training materials by OpenHelix
| Learn to use dbGaP, the NCBI database that serves as a repository for the results of studies investigating the interaction between genotypes and phenotypes. The dbGaP resource includes detailed reports of variables, documents, analyses, and data sets from genome wide association studies and other large-scale studies that use high throughput genotyping and sequencing methods. Learn about the two levels of access to dbGaP, open and controlled, and how to search and retrieve open access data. The dbGaP resource compiles studies using stable identifiers and standard formats that allow these data to be browsed, downloaded, and used to facilitate additional studies and replication of results. | |||||
You'll learn:
- to perform basic and advanced searches and navigate the dbGaP site
- to understand the displays for the main open access data types: studies, variables, documents, analyses, and data sets
- to use the analysis browser to identify candidate genomic regions for genotype-phenotype associations
- to manipulate and customize the browser displays
More about the resource:
dbGaP is a public resource that serves to archive and distribute the results of genome wide association studies and other studies investigating genotype-phenotype interaction. Multiple research groups submit study data and genotype-phenotype analyses to dbGaP, where these data are stored. dbGaP provides broad release of summary data and controlled access to individual level data in accordance with standard access policies for sensitive data sets. The goal of dbGaP is to archive and distribute results of GWAS (Genome Wide Association Studies) and other studies of genotype-phenotype interactions.
