Access

Are you a researcher interested in accessing Traveller Genes volunteer data? Find out more about what we have available and how to find it here.

Traveller Genes data have already supported research projects and publications. We welcome more applications to work on our datasets.

All data and sample requests are reviewed by the Traveller Genes Data Access Committee. Each approved project is subject to a Data or Materials Transfer Agreement (DTA or MTA), or commercial contract. 

Information and samples from volunteers can only be used by researchers if there is relevant scientific and ethical approval for the research. We are happy to consider requests from researchers working in countries outside the UK, or in commercial companies. Personal volunteer details (such as email or postal address) will never be shared with researchers.

Samples

Our Traveller Genes data dictionary is available in the open access University of Edinburgh DataShare repository:
