We built the OpenGWAS resource to be a free and open platform to support work on GWAS summary data. Much of it is based on extensive feedback on @mrbase2 from both internal and external colleagues. Paper here: bit.ly/2DRbHGT, key points below:

We are recruiting two new posts to join the @OpenGwas team (@mrc_ieu): a research software engineer and a research data officer. bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/deta… and bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/deta…
We GWAS'd the metabolites released by @uk_biobank nitter.cf/uk_biobank/status/1373… and deposited the summary data in Open GWAS gwas.mrcieu.ac.uk/. The summary data can be assessed via R (mrcieu.github.io/ieugwasr/) or python (github.com/mrcieu/ieugwaspy)
#UKBiobank today releases the first tranche of data from a study by @NgaleHealth looking into metabolomic biomarkers in blood samples of 120,000 UK Biobank participants. This will enable research into the likelihood of experiencing some chronic diseases - bit.ly/311Vya2

Thank you @uk_biobank, @NgaleHealth , @MCarol_Borges, @elswob and @tomrgaunt

Join me at #ElasticCC where I'll be talking about how we use Elasticsearch for @OpenGwas. This is @Elastic’s free technical event from the community, for the community — happening from Feb 26 - 27 ela.st/community-conference
OpenGWAS currently down due to sever outage with our cloud hosting provider. Apologies to our users. Problem also affecting @mrbase2

The OpenGWAS database, your one-stop-shop for complete #GWAS summary datasets & metadata for the scientific community. Open source, open access, & free for all!

QC process - we align the non-effect allele to the human genome reference sequence; and annotate the positions with dbSNP identifiers. Example QC report: gwas.mrcieu.ac.uk/datasets/u…
Continued data harvesting - for new GWAS results that are published, upload them to the EBI GWAS catalog and we will pull them in from there. For unpublished results, or large batches, we have pipelines to do that. Get in touch here: github.com/mrcieu/opengwas-r…
Huge thanks to @The_MRC, @OracleCloud and @wellcometrust for funding much of this, and team (@explodecomputer @tomrgaunt @elswob @matt_s_lyon @prime2 @assetweb @JonJHallett and others) for making a hopefully useful community resource
