alterlab-gwas
From the author
Query the NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog REST API v2 for curated SNP-trait associations, retrieving variants by rs ID, disease/trait (EFO/MONDO), gene, or study (GCST) with p-values, effect sizes, and ancestry, and locate full harmonised summary statistics on the FTP site. Use when investigating genome-wide association study hits, mapping a SNP or rsID to traits, selecting GWAS for polygenic risk scores or fine-mapping, or doing genetic epidemiology lookups.

- alterlab-geoAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsAccess NCBI GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) for gene expression and functional genomics data — search and download microarray and RNA-seq datasets by GSE, GSM, GPL, or GDS accession and retrieve SOFT, MINiML, and series matrix files. Use when locating public expression datasets, fetching processed expression matrices, downloading a study's supplementary files, or sourcing per-study transcriptomics data for differential-expression analysis. For raw FASTQ sequencing reads by SRA/ENA run accession use alterlab-ena; for reference tissue-expression baselines (median TPM across human tissues) use alterlab-gtex; for cancer cohort somatic mutations and copy-number use alterlab-cbioportal.
