Shared Data Directory

Overview

We are working closely with researchers just like you to identify high-value data and stage these data for direct access from U-BRITE’s Data Portal and Analysis Gateway.

Access is controlled using standard protocols to restrict read-write permissions to authorized U-BRITE users. This facilitates different levels of access, so interested researchers can engage these data flexibly while doing team science and carrying out other research activities.

UAB Limited Access Data

• Alabama Genomic Health Initiative (AGHI)

Locally Cached Public Data

• Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) V8
• Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) V7
• Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) V6p
• NIH NCBI ClinVar
• Ensembl
• Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) L1000
• NIH NCBI HomoloGene
• NIH Human Microbiome Project (HMP)

How To Access

These data are available on high-performance, parallel storage connected to the Cheaha supercomputer. In particular:

• Location is $SHARE_PROJECT/ubrite/shared-data with each dataset in its own dedicated subdirectory.
• Access is restricted to members of the ubrite Unix group.
• Data permissions are set to read-only to prevent inadvertent modification.
• SHA256 checksums are available for checking data integrity.
