The EGA is a global network for the permanent archiving and sharing of personally identifiable genetic, phenotypic, and clinical data generated for biomedical research projects or in the context of research-focused healthcare systems.. Since its launch in 2008, the EGA has collected data from over 6,000 different research projects at nearly 1,000 institutions worldwide. The EGA makes this data discoverable, accessible, and reusable for researchers who need it, adhering to the findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) principles and maximising the value of the collected data.
EGA is funded by ongoing institutional support from EMBL-EBI and the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and support through collaborative projects and partnerships.
