The NIH GWAS data repository was designed to accommodate the data structures of many of the GWAS that are likely to submit data to it. Nonetheless, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) will discuss the best transfer format with all submitting investigators prior to data transmission. The same plan will be followed for importing relevant data from caBIG. In the future, the NIH GWAS data repository may contain information that will allow users to readily access more specialized resources linked to the data in the repository.
