The <\/span>database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP)<\/span><\/a> is a free resource that contains human data from a variety of large-scale studies. While you can\u2019t view individual-level data without applying for controlled access, you can easily find dbGaP studies using the <\/span>dbGaP Advanced Search<\/span><\/a> (see screenshot below) and quickly filter studies based on study variables, molecular data type, study focus, NIH Institute, study consent, and more. Third-party annotations and mapping of phenotypic and study variables to controlled vocabularies allow you to search across studies. Once you find a study of interest, you can follow the <\/span>Authorized Access link<\/span><\/a> on records to apply for access.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
