Chunk #15 — 2 Methods — 2.2 LD Hub web interface — GWAShare center

Source
LD Hub: a centralized database and web interface to perform LD score regression that maximizes the potential of summary level GWAS data for SNP heritability and genetic correlation analysis.
Embedded
yes

Text

We aim to promote sharing of summary GWAS results data and to this extent we have included web links to all the publicly available summary GWAS results data that we have incorporated into LD Hub (users will find this link in the GWAShare Center along with a PubMed identifier detailing which study the data came from). In the case of summary results GWAS data that are not publicly available outside LD Hub, users will need to get in touch with the authors of the study themselves to request the data. Users may find this feature useful in conducting other types of SNP comparative study outside the scope of LD Hub as well as following up interesting genetic correlations. We encourage users of LD Hub to upload their GWAS results for curation into the database. We will update the database regularly and allow other users to use the shared data for LD score regression analyses, which will then benefit the whole human genetics community.
