The IEU GWAS Database​

The MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit (MRC IEU) at the University of Bristol hosts the IEU GWAS Database, one of the world’s largest open collections of Genome Wide Associate Study data. As of April 2019, the database contains over 250 billion genetic association records from more than 20,000 analysis of human traits.

Previously we had successfully run GWAS on almost all of the UKBiobank traits (https://ieup4.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/2018/10/01/ukb_gwas/). Our next job was to make these searchable at scale. This post explains how we have done this and how you can access the data.
