ADSP R4 Quality-controlled Data for WGS Bi-allelic Autosomes is Here!

August 16, 2023
The ADSP has recently unveiled an updated version of the dataset (ng00067.v10) that encompasses valuable genetic information. This release comprises two key components: 1. A quality-controlled project-level Variant Call Format (pVCF) file for bi-allelic autosomes derived from the R4 whole genome sequencing (WGS) dataset, encompassing 36,361 samples. 2. Individual-level structural variant calls generated by two callers, Manta and Smoove, specifically for the new samples introduced in R4 (n=19,451). Furthermore, the R4 quality-controlled pVCF offers compact and compact filtered versions,...

Working from home? Check out new genetics data for Alzheimer’s disease research!

May 15, 2020
The NIA is excited to announce the release of the latest genomics dataset from the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP) . The NIA Genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease Data Storage Site (NIAGADS) is a vital tool as we seek to better understand genes that increase risk for — or protection from — AD/ADRD. Researchers can now access new, robust ADSP sequencing of nearly 20,000 samples from 9 different studies so they can continue their Alzheimer’s disease research from home.
