The Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP)<\/span><\/a> has been used for over a decade to safely store and provide access to anonymized patient-level data related to research studies.

See the<\/span> <\/span>SSTR<\/span> API documentation<\/span> page<\/span><\/span><\/a> to try it out<\/span>!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We also increased connections of this data across NCBI systems by assigning <\/span>BioSample IDs<\/span><\/a> to each record. When the submitter provides additional data for a study, we automatically update the report. For example, once the subject and sample IDs are verified and published, the system reuses these to create an input file for the sequence metadata, where appropriate. Once the sequence metadata is provided and loaded, we can add the high throughput sequence data files and the SSTR will continuously update for these additional steps.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The SSTR is an integral part of the dbGaP curation validation step for ensuring a study is completely processed. It will remain available for released data and can be used by anyone interested in a study to get more details of what is in the report (see an <\/span>example<\/span><\/a>).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Follow us on Twitter\u202f<\/span>@NCBI<\/span><\/a>\u202fand\u202f<\/span>join our mailing list<\/span><\/a>\u202fto keep up to date with\u202fdbGaP\u202fand other NCBI news.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Let us know how you have used this or plan to use this report in the future by writing to <\/span>dbgap-help@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov<\/span><\/a>.
