Remarks

Remarks
GWAS Central (previously the Human Genome Variation database of Genotype-to-Phenotype information) is a database of summary level findings from genetic association studies, both large and small. We actively gather datasets from public domain projects, and encourage direct data submission from the community. GWAS Central is covered by Thomson Reuters Data Citation Index. A list of data sources for the GWAS central database can be found at: https://help.gwascentral.org/data/database-content/ Previous funding in the databases history has been provided by Interactiva GmbH (Germany), the European Bioinformatics Institute (UK), the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (Heidelberg), Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, the Karolinska Institute (Sweden), and the European Community’s Sixth Framework Programme (‘INFOBIOMED’ Network of Excellence).
