  • ALFA: The NCBI ALlele Frequency Aggregator pipeline computes allele frequencies from approved, unrestricted dbGaP studies and makes them publicly available through dbSNP. Its goal is to release frequency data from over one million dbGaP subjects to aid discoveries involving common and rare variants with biological or disease relevance. The R4 release includes 408,709 subjects and allele frequencies for 15.5 million rs sites, including nearly one million ClinVar - variants.
