Users often consider GWAS Catalog data from multiple studies when identifying regions of association for use in drug target discovery or disease risk prediction. We have incorporated a LocusZoom plot (32) of all GWAS Catalog associations across the genome by trait to support this. This plot is interactive, allowing users to access data including variant ID, risk allele, study and publication information when hovering over a variant. The interpretation of variants requires users to consider co-located genes and other functional elements. Links to Ensembl (33) and the UCSC genome browser (34) provide genomic context. Finally, we have improved the ease and speed of access to SS, indicating availability through an icon displayed in the search results, study page and study tables. Clicking on the icon from the study page and table provides access to SS files from the FTP site or the API.
