Database: European Genome‑phenome Archive (EGA) Compilation (European Union)

forresearchers europeanunion isDatabase Go back to European Union page

Type of database: genomics, biobank.

Primary purpose: Permanently archiving and sharing genetic, phenotypic, and clinical data generated for biomedical research projects.

Sponsor, manager or home institution: European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA).

Type of information: A wide range of genetic, phenotypic, and clinical data collected from biomedical research projects. This includes genomic data such as whole-genome sequencing, exome sequencing, and transcriptomic data, along with phenotypic information like disease characteristics, medical histories, and clinical outcomes. Additionally, the datasets contain clinical data that document patient treatments, diagnoses, medications, and responses to therapies. Many datasets also integrate genetic and phenotypic data to help understand the genetic basis of diseases, identify biomarkers, and explore treatment efficacy. These datasets support research across various diseases, including cancer, rare diseases, and conditions with complex genetic underpinnings. Click here to access.

Cancer Areas of Interest: C00-D48: All neoplasms.
