The GHGA Data Portal continues to evolve with updates designed to make data discovery and access more intuitive and reliable. This release introduces improvements to filtering, study page access, IVA handling, and download workflows.

Key features included are:

  • Enhanced Filtering Across the Portal. You can now search and filter directly within all summary tables, making it faster and more intuitive to find the data you need.
  • Study Pages Now Publicly Accessible. Study pages, previously internal, are now publicly available and linked wherever a study ID appears, improving discoverability and navigation across the GHGA Data Portal.
  • Refined IVA Handling. IVA operations now include daily and total limits. These changes improve clarity, robustness, and prevent misuse.
  • Simplified Download Tokens. Download token creation has been streamlined and aligned with the upcoming upload workflows, reducing complexity and preparing the portal for future enhancements.
  • Backend & Infrastructure Improvements. Key technical updates include retry logic for DHFSConnector, optimized file metadata ingest, and updates to core services to improve reliability and session management.

With these updates, the GHGA Data Portal becomes even easier to use while maintaining secure and efficient access to human genomic data.
