De-identified clinical and genomics data for UCLA ATLAS Community Health Initiative patients can be accessed via the Discovery Data Repository (DDR) in the Azure cloud. Raw plink files are linked to the clinical data by a sample-id. To request access to DDR submit a ticket here.
De-identified genotype data (VCF files), may be accessed in GenomicDB, a repository for genomic data, via Scala (Zeppelin). To access the data, click here to fill out the data/sample request form.
The sample and data gathered from UCLA ATLAS Community Health Initiative patients represent an unprecedented resource for genetic studies. Therefore, we require that researchers who receive financial support or utilize supported resources or services from the Institute for Precision Health (IPH) acknowledge IPH appropriately.
To this end, we have created the following guidelines for citing IPH. If you need further clarification, please contact IPH Program Manager, Maryam Ariannejad at marian@mednet.ucla.edu.
1. If researchers used UCLA ATLAS Community Health Initiative biomaterials or accessed the genotypic or phenotypic data, UCLA ATLAS Community Health Initiative and IPH should be acknowledged as follows:
"We gratefully acknowledge the resources provided by the Institute for Precision Health (IPH) and participating UCLA ATLAS Community Health Initiative patients. The UCLA ATLAS Community Health Initiative and UCLA ATLAS Precision Health Biobank (https://www.uclahealth.org/precision-health/atlas), is a program of the IPH, which directs and supports the biobanking and genotyping of biospecimen samples from participating UCLA patients in collaboartion with the David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA CTSI and UCLA Health."
2. IPH faculty that receive financial support or utilize supported resources or services from the Institute for Precision Health are required to include their IPH affiliation in grants, presentation and other media.
3. Any researcher that publishes a manuscript based on IPH data or resources should forward a link to: Maryam Ariannejad, IPH Program Manager @ marian@mednet.ucla.edu.
