gnomAD – The Genome Aggregation Database
Overview
The Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) is a resource developed by an international coalition of investigators, with the goal of aggregating and harmonizing both exome and genome sequencing data from a wide variety of large-scale sequencing projects, and making summary data available for the wider scientific community.

Currently, two data sets are hosted on the Data Ark.
v2.1.1 data set (GRCh37/hg19) provided spans 125,748 exome sequences and 15,708 whole-genome sequences from unrelated individuals sequenced as part of various disease-specific and population genetic studies. gnomAD v2.1.1 is preferable over v3 for interpreting coding variants. The v3.1 data set (GRCh38) spans 76,156 genomes, providing more data for noncoding regions or coding regions not covered well in exomes, such as regions with high GC content or regions not targeted with exome capture. The v.3.1 data set also included genomes from the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP) and the 1000 Genome Project (1KG ).
Access
To use this data, NO DUA form is required, you can access the data at the following path on Minerva –/sc/arion/projects/data-ark/Public_Unrestricted/gnomAD or you can load module $ module load dataark to see the path variables.
