<i>Tuesday, July 29, 2014</i>
</p><p>In response to many requests from dbGaP users to simplify and streamline the data access request process while respecting patient consent, dbGaP staff have identified &#x0201c;General Research Use&#x0201d; individuals from different studies and created a collection that allows users to access data on these individuals through a single access request.</p><p>Most studies in dbGaP have a significant fraction of participants who consented for &#x0201c;General Research Use." NIH recognizes that the consents for these study participants are essentially the same, even though the individuals participated in different studies. Therefore, NIH decided to create a streamlined process that would allow users to obtain data on the collection of the individuals who consented for &#x0201c;General Research Use&#x0201d; in one single request.</p><p>Investigators approved for access to the datasets within the Collection with have access to the data for the standard one-year approval period. While you may only wish to use data on some of the individuals for your research, approved users will have access to data on the full set of individuals. In addition, any new individuals in the &#x0201c;General Research Use&#x0201d; category will be automatically added to this collection; you will not need to make another request to make use of the data relating to these new individuals during your one-year approval period.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col fig" id="fignews07292014figure1asampleofthes" co-legend-rid="figlgndnews07292014figure1asampleofthes"><a href="/books/NBK431036/figure/news_07-29-2014.figure1asampleofthes/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Figure" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="fignews07292014figure1asampleofthes" rid-ob="figobnews07292014figure1asampleofthes"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK431036/bin/cms_dbgap_general_research_use_table.gif" src-large="/books/NBK431036/bin/cms_dbgap_general_research_use_table.jpg" alt="Figure 1" /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt" id="figlgndnews07292014figure1asampleofthes"><h4 id="news_07-29-2014.figure1asampleofthes"><a href="/books/NBK431036/figure/news_07-29-2014.figure1asampleofthes/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobnews07292014figure1asampleofthes">Figure</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin"><i>Figure 1</i>.

<i>Tuesday, July 22, 2014</i>
</p><p>A collaborative project between NCBI and several other Federal and state partners to reduce the time and improve the accuracy of detecting foodborne pathogens by using whole genome sequencing (WGS) techniques received an&#x000a0;HHS<i>innovates</i>&#x000a0;award on July 21.</p><p>The <a href="http://www.hhs.gov/idealab/pathways/hhs-innovates/" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">HHS<i>innovates</i></a> program was initiated in 2010 to recognize new ideas and solutions developed by HHS employees and their collaborators. &#x000a0;Six finalist teams were recognized at the awards ceremony. &#x000a0;The WGS Food Safety Project, which also involved the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and state public health laboratories, was one of three projects to be honored as &#x0201c;Secretary's Picks&#x0201d; by HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell.</p><p>Presenting the award, HHS Deputy Secretary Bill Corr said: &#x0201c;Together all these folks engaged in a demonstration project to showcase the benefits of using whole genome sequencing for food surveillance and detection purposes. They showed that whole genome sequencing can produce faster detection of foodborne pathogens than the traditional method, helping us stop an outbreak of disease in its tracks, and for that we deeply appreciate your work.&#x0201d; The award went to the specific individuals leading the project in the various agencies; in the case of NCBI, Senior Scientist William Klimke, Ph.D., was honored for his work in heading NCBI&#x02019;s part of the project.</p><p>WGS provides greater specificity than other techniques, such as the commonly used pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), in identifying the DNA fingerprint of bacteria. It also can more rapidly determine whether isolates are related to a foodborne disease outbreak.</p><p>The demonstration project involves real-time sequencing of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> isolates from human DNA as well as the food supply chain. In the project, the whole genomes of isolates are sequenced and the sequencing data are sent to NCBI, which performs assembly, annotation, and analysis and then sends results back to CDC, FDA, USDA, and the labs.</p><p>Collaborative projects using WGS for other pathogens related to food safety are also underway.&#x000a0;</p></div><div id="news_07-18-2014-genomes-FTP-overhaul"><h2 id="_news_07-18-2014-genomes-FTP-overhaul_">Major revision of the NCBI genomes FTP site this summer</h2><p>

This redesign will expand available content and facilitate data access through an organized, predictable directory hierarchy.
