The 2021-01-15 release marks the fourth release for the NHLBI BioData Catalyst ecosystem. This release includes several new features (e.g., CWL workflows to create dataset specific files needed for GWAS) along with documentation and tutorials to help new users get started on the system. This release also includes enhanced support for CWL tools for post-GWAS analysis and a CWL tool for Bcftools Merge and Filter. Please find more detail on the new features and user support materials in the sections below.
The 2021-01-15 data release includes the addition of both TOPMed studies and the ORCHID Study, conducted by the (PETAL) Clinical Trials Network of NHLBI. Multi-sample VCFs, CRAMs and unharmonized clinical files were added for 27 TOPMed studies new to BioData Catalyst. Additionally, 7 TOPMed studies previously hosted on BioData Catalyst were updated to the latest study versions. These updates include 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 associated clinical files were added for the ORCHID study.
