What is "Green" Data?

FinnGen "Green" data includes FinnGen's core analysis results that do not contain any individual FinnGen participant information.

Typical examples of these results for each FinnGen release are

• GWAS association summary statistics run for the FinnGen endpoints (FinnGen PheWAS)

• Finemapping results of all genome-wide significant loci in FinnGen

• PheWAS and statistical colocalization results between PheWAS loci and eQTL data

The green library also includes other useful documentation, such as translations of medical codes.

Accessibility

The green library is accessible to anyone with an @finngen.fi account and results can be downloaded to users’ local machines (see Accessing Green Data). Green data can be downloaded to your personal computing environment of choice for e.g., meta-analyzing FinnGen summary results with other GWA studies.

Restrictions

The only restriction is that for each FinnGen release, there is a one-year publication embargo on the data within it (see The 1-year "exclusivity period" policy). If you intend to publish data before the embargo has been lifted, you must first apply for approval from the FinnGen Scientific Committee (see How to send an application to the Scientific Committee).
