The CBIPM-Biome Data Set

An electronic medical record-linked blood/serum biobank with over 50,000 enrolled participants. Genetic, epidemiologic and molecular data are available, including whole exome sequencing(WES) data for a diverse cohort of individuals from over 30,000 with many ancestral and cultural backgrounds
CIB (Cancer Institute Biorepository) In combination with Freezerworks, CIB supports the biorepository to annotate, manage and search donor and sample (tissue and fluid) information, consent status, clinical annotations, and sample tracking.

 

Helpful Links to External Data Sets

Access Data Ark

For Public Unrestricted data sets, you can simply access the following path on Minerva:

/sc/arion/projects/data-ark/Public_Unrestricted

For any other data sets, users must read, agree to, and sign the Data Use Agreement specific to the requested data set. Once the agreement has been submitted, as well as any evidence of approved permission for public restricted-use data, the Data Ark team will grant access within two working days. Users will receive email confirmation that access has been granted.

The Data Use Agreement is accessible only through the Mount Sinai campus network or secure remote VPN. Click here for the Data Use Agreement and choose the data set that you would like to access from the drop-down list. From here you can follow the link to view and agree to the specific Data Use Agreement. Users will need to login with your Sinai account and password and will be able to choose only one data set at a time.
