Repository Description:

Source: https://www.re3data.org/

The NCBI database of Genotypes and Phenotypes archives and distributes the results of studies that have investigated the interaction of genotype and phenotype, including genome-wide association studies, medical sequencing, molecular diagnostic assays, and association between genotype and non-clinical traits. The database provides summaries of studies, the contents of measured variables, and original study document text. dbGaP provides two types of access for users, open and controlled. Through the controlled access, users may access individual-level data such as phenotypic data tables and genotypes.


Data Collection Policy URL: https://grants.nih.gov/policy-and-compliance/policy-topics/sharing-policies/accessing-data/dbgap
Research Areas: Life Sciences; Basic Biological and Medical Research; General Genetics; Medicine; Human Genetics; Biology; Medicine;
Data Types: Experimental; Observational; Code; Geospatial; Image; Genomic/Molecular; Biomedical;
Data Types Explicitly Prohibited: dbGaP does not accept non-human data (except as supplementary to human). BAM, CRAM, or FASTQ files as Molecular Data should be submitted through the Sequence Read Archive (SRA). Raw Proteomics files may need other specialized repositories (PRIDE.)
Fee for JHU Researchers to Deposit: No
Data Limit: No stated limits. Contact dbGaP for very large deposits.
Option for Data Access: Controlled Access; Open Access;
Details on Data Access:

Controlled access managed by NCBI, requestor IRB approval or equivalent. Open access to certain summary and aggregated data, metadata and documentation. dbGaP is divided into public and authorized-access sections for aggregate and individual-level data, respectively.


Human Data Accepted: Yes
Level of Deidentification Required: Whole human genome (WGS) direct identifiers may require JHU institutional certification and use limiters unless commercial/sponsor use is consented. Safe Harbor de-identification required for all other data.
