Project Description
OpenGWAS is a database containing billions of genetic associations derived from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) aggregated from dozens of sources, such as FinnGen and the UK Biobank. The phenotypes are represented differently in these sources, so our work with OpenGWAS involves the standardization of phenotypes with ontology descriptions to facilitate data integration. Our goal is to improve the reusability and to facilitate the meta-analysis of GWAS data.
