The 2020-04-02 release marks the first significant release for the NHLBI BioData Catalyst ecosystem. This release offers an integrated system of platforms and services for researchers to search metadata of hosted datasets, find data files, and analyze data files in workspace environments which support a variety of different analysis modalities.
The hosted data for this release includes TOPMed multi-sample VCF data for ~55,000 sequenced participants within 32 TOPMed studies included in Freeze 5b as well as CRAM files for those participants. In addition, this release includes raw phenotype files for participants in TOPMed studies, providing clinical information such as BMI and lipids levels. In some cases, these data are in different dbGaP accessions than the genomic data. The hosted data is stored in both Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud and users have the option to run computation on either cloud provider. To access the hosted TOPMed data on BioData Catalyst, users must have dbGaP approval. Please refer to the Data page on the BioData Catalyst website for more information.
