Having clear and accessible metadata is essential for enhancing data interpretation and ensuring its reusability. In the case of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), having a standardized and easy-to-understand format for documenting study metadata is crucial. In the GWAS Catalog, metadata associated with full genome-wide summary statistics files is accessible via multiple routes - searchable in the main Catalog via the website and REST API, ...

This year marks a special anniversary for the GWAS Catalog, as we have reached ten years since our launch in 2008. The GWAS Catalog is a widely used publicly available resource of all published human genome wide association studies (GWAS) and association results. Each GWAS study contains a wealth of information which is effectively inaccessible to researchers ...

The NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog is a central resource for the Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) community, demonstrating the benefit of expert data curation and integration of full p-value GWAS summary statistics into a central repository for variant-trait associations. For more than 10 years, the Catalog has aimed to make GWAS data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable) ...

Today we are very pleased to share our manuscript describing a new standard format for GWAS summary statistics, GWAS-SSF. The work towards this goal began in 2017 when we began to host summary statistics in the GWAS Catalog. It rapidly became apparent that summary statistics were formatted in a whole host of different ways, with only a few features in common between them, and little has changed since, with a recent analysis of 327 summary statistics ...

We are pleased to announce the release of a new version of the GWAS Catalog web search interface, which is now in production. Here is a guide to the main differences you will see. ...

We are pleased to announce the release of a new version of the GWAS Catalog web search interface, which is available for testing at www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/labs. Here is a guide to the main differences you will see. ...

Next month the GWAS Catalog is switching to a NEW summary statistics format. Find out more about what this means for submitters and consumers of summary statistics ...

We are pleased to announce our latest data release includes a new version of the Catalog studies downloads containing additional fields describing the discovery stage (genome-wide) cohorts used in each study (see below for more details), and clearer information on the availability of full genomewide summary statistics. ...

Genetic evidence could double the rate of success in drug targets identification - so the scientific community predicts. With this in mind, it is crucial for Open Targets to be able to feed as many SNP-trait associations as possible into its pipeline for systematic target identification and validation. ...

Each study in the GWAS Catalog investigates the association between variants in the human genome and a particular trait or phenotypic characteristic. For each study, we annotate the trait in two ways, a reported trait that reflects the author’s description of the disease or phenotypic characteristic under investigation. This is a free text description and sometimes. ...
