EWAS Data Hub – Education

Credit by: Zhuang Xiong

As Epigenome-Wide Association Study (EWAS) has become an effective strategy to explore epigenetic basis of complex traits, EWAS Data Hub (https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/ewas/datahub) is a resource dedicated for collecting and normalizing DNA methylation array data as well as archiving associated metadata. It houses 14,678 samples of standardized DNA methylation array data and metadata, and provides DNA methylation profiles for a list of 485,512 probes in association with 36,397 genes. In summary, EWAS Data Hub bears great promise to aid the retrieval and discovery of methylation-based biomarkers for phenotype characterization, clinical treatment and health care.
