SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides access to GWAS Catalog meta-data and associations via the NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog REST API, enabling efficient genotype-phenotype exploration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Search associations by trait, gene, or variant to identify relevant genetic signals.
  • Retrieve p-values, effect sizes (OR/Beta), and LD context for top variants.
  • Access study metadata and cohort information to support downstream analyses and reporting.

Quick Start

Run a GWAS Catalog search for a trait (e.g., "type 2 diabetes") to retrieve top associations and study details.

Frequently Asked Questions about scientific-gwas-catalog

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I retrieve GWAS catalog associations and study metadata for a specific trait?▼

To retrieve GWAS catalog associations, search the NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog REST API by trait, gene, or variant. This returns structured genetic association data including p-values, odds ratios, and cohort metadata suitable for downstream analysis.

What genetic association data fields can I get from querying the GWAS Catalog API?▼

Querying the GWAS Catalog API yields structured results containing trait-to-variant mappings, p-values, effect sizes like Beta or OR, and linkage disequilibrium context. It also provides study metadata and cohort information to support research workflows.

Can I search for genetic variants by gene name using the NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog?▼

Yes, you can search the NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog REST API by gene name to identify relevant genetic signals. This retrieves associated variants, traits, p-values, and study details for genotype-phenotype exploration.

Do I need API credentials to access the GWAS Catalog REST API for genetic trait mappings?▼

The skill requires access to the NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog REST API to retrieve genotype-phenotype associations. It applies to genetic association research workflows needing trait-to-variant mappings, effect sizes, and LD context.

What is the best way to integrate GWAS signals and LD context into downstream bioinformatics analyses?▼

The best way to integrate GWAS signals is by querying the GWAS Catalog REST API to obtain structured results. This provides p-values, ORs, and LD context for top variants, returning data suitable for integration into downstream bioinformatics pipelines.
