The 2020-10-23 release marks the third release for the NHLBI BioData Catalyst ecosystem. This release includes several new features along with documentation and tutorials (e.g., bringing your own data and tools) to help new users get started on the system. This release also includes enhanced support for querying annotations for TOPMed Freeze 8 variants in the Annotation Explorer, and querying combined phenotypic and genomic data in PIC-SURE. Please find more detail on the new features and user support materials in the sections below.
The 2020-10-23 data release includes the addition of both Parent and TOPMed studies. A total of 8 new Parent studies and their respective unharmonized clinical files were added. Multi-sample VCFs, CRAMs and unharmonized clinical files were added for 2 TOPMed studies new to BioData Catalyst. Additionally, 6 studies were updated to the latest version. These updates included new CRAMs, unharmonized clinical files and multi-sample VCFs for Freeze 8. For each study and consent group, VCF files are available on a per chromosome basis and in an un-tarred format. The data is now available for access across the entire ecosystem.
