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.

NIAGADS Genomics Database v3.4 Release

February 28, 2019
NIAGADS is pleased to announce that the Genomics Database v.3.4 has now been released. This release makes available ~50K new small INDELS identified by the ADSP whole-exome sequencing project and annotated by the ADSP Annotation Working Group. Also newly available are two new summary statistics datasets: NG00065 (SVs): summary statistics for ~1.5 million single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and 50,000 insertion-deletion polymorphisms (indels) identified by the ADSP whole-exome sequencing project and tested for association to AD NG00058: summary statistics from a genome-wide survival analysis of...
