As a secure national omics data infrastructure, GHGA enables the use of human omics data in research, while ensuring data security and preventing misuse.
Our Mission The GHGA Data Portal
The genome data collected within the genomDE model project is archived in GHGA and, with the patient's consent, made available for research.
Omics data have the potential to revolutionise health care. Here we show how GHGA is an integral part of this process.
GHGA has developed a robust and appropriate legal and data protection structure.

Learn moreGHGA is part of the NFDI e.V. and is funded by the DFG. We are closely integrated with both national and international infrastructures and initiatives, such as GDI, EGA, GA4GH, and the model project GenomSeq.
As a national initiative created by researchers for researchers, GHGA brings together expertise from over 20 leading institutions in genomic medicine, major omics data producers (including four DFG Sequencing Centres), and high-performance computing (HPC) centres. These institutions are dedicated to providing scalable infrastructure for genomic research.
Our infrastructure is managed in a federated manner and organised into data hubs located across Germany.
