+== BIOS ==
+The mission of the BIOS Consortium is to create a large-scale data infrastructure and to bring together BBMRI researchers focusing on integrative omics studies in Dutch Biobanks. [[BR]]
+The advent of the genome-wide association study (GWAS) led to the successful identification of thousands of variants that are robustly associated with complex disease phenotypes. Dutch biobanks played a substantial role in these discoveries. For most of these variants, however, the mechanisms through which they contribute to these phenotypes remain unknown. The BIOS Consortium applies a functional genomics approach that integrates genome-wide genetic data with data on the epigenome and transcriptome to elucidate these mechanisms. Over 4000 samples from BBMRI-NL biobanks with in-depth information on disease phenotypes and GWAS data have been enriched with RNA-sequencing (>15 M paired end reads) and genome-wide DNA methylation data (Illumina 450k arrays). The same is true for samples with whole-genome sequencing data from GoNL. This unique data infrastructure provides a powerful platform to evaluate key questions in integrative omics from establishing comprehensive eQTL and meQTL catalogues to linking molecular pathways across omics levels to phenotypic outcomes.
+
+== Access to BIOS data ==
+There are two ways to access BIOS data:
+
+=== 1.  Download of selected data through EGA ===
+RNA-seq, DNA methylation, sex, age and cell count data that has been analyzed in publications can be requested and downloaded from The European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA). The advantage is that data can be downloaded to own computational facilities, but not all data can be accessed (e.g. SNPs). [http://www.bbmri.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/BIOS_DATA_ACCESS_POLICY_CONDITIONS_v4.docx Click here] to download the document for BIOS data requests through EGA. The document includes the data sharing policies.
+
+=== 2.  Analyze all data on a centralized computational facility ===
+For BBMRI-NL researchers, all data shared by participating biobanks including genome-wide SNP data, limited phenotypes, RNA-seq and DNA methylation on all individuals can be analyzed on centralized computational facilities, namely the !LifeScience Grid and the SurfSARA High Performance Computing cloud (https://userinfo.surfsara.nl/systems/grid/new-users). The advantage of this approach is that all available data can be analyzed (including those with a privacy aspect), but the data cannot be downloaded and a relatively strict security protocol has to be adopted. Please, fill out this [http://www.bbmri.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/BIOSdataaccessrequest.doc form] if you wish to request access to BIOS data at the SurfSARA servers. To complete this request, you will also need to sign the [http://www.bbmri.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/BIOSCodeOfConduct.pdf BIOS Code Of Conduct].
