Dear all,
My major is not bioinformatics. However, I would like to integrate several kinds of omics data to get more insight into my targets (Biomarker discovery). So far, I have work with data from microarrays. However, I plan to combine GWAS data with microarray data in my new project. I have several questions that need your help.
- Do I need any ethical approval when working with GWAS data? As far as I'm concerned, they are "2nd" data, so it is not necessary to get ethical approval, is it?
- Where can I get GWAS data?
- Some popular tools to handle GWAS data. For example, tools to normalize data, tools to perform gene set/single gene analysis, tools for perform meta-analysis.
- Is it possible if after finding some candidates, I integrate the results with proteomic/metabolomics data? If possible, how can I do that?
Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
