We are building a secure national omics data infrastructure, enabling the use of human genome data for research purposes while preventing data misuse.
A public portal for the discovery of human omics study data from German research institutions.
GHGA has developed different tools to help clinicians, researchers and institutions wanting to submit omics data to GHGA.
What is newborn screening and what are its benefits? Which dieseases should we look for and are there ethical aspects to take into consideration? Jan Kirschner and Inge Schwersenz tell us more about the impact of newborn screening.

Learn moreGHGA is tightly embedded and connected to national and international infrastructures and initiatives. It will be operated as a German national node of the federated European Genome-Phenome Archive (EGA).
GHGA is funded as part of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI e.V.) via the DFG.
With 46 Participants from 21 institutions, GHGA is organised in data hubs across Germany combining leading institutions in genomic medicine, major omics data producers (including four DFG Sequencing Centers) and HPC centers committed to provide scalable infrastructure.
To ensure smooth working, eight workstreams were formed.
