If you would like to join another domain or subdomain, please contact the domain or subdomain lead(s) listed on our key contactsP page GeCIP domains page to discuss your interest and how you may effectively contribute to the domain. Please note that membership of domains does not govern members’ access to data – all GeCIP members can see all de-identified 100,000 Genomes Project data within the Research Environment. GeCIP members should only consider joining a new domain if their intended research activities fit within its scope.

...

During the signing process, each institution will provide a verified list of GeCIP members from their institution to Genomics England. The complete list of users and access requirements is then processed by the Genomics England Service Desk. You must be verified by your institution in order to gain access to the project dataset.

Account issue

When it comes is time to give you access to the data, a Genomics England account will be issued to you using the institutional email address that we hold for you. You will receive two emails:

  1. An email with your username and a link to complete your information governance training
  2. An email with a link to set your password.

Included within this email will be your username and instructions on how to access your password using a secure and encrypted service provided by NHS Mail. The same username and password will be needed to log in to applications, eg LabKey, within the Research Environment individually. The safety of your password is of upmost importance.

...

To access the Research Environment, you should open a browser and navigate to https://re.extge.co.uk/ovd/. You will then be provided with a login dialog box for which you should use the username and password that have been issued to you. If this does not give you access then it would be worth trying a different browser, eg either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. If you're still unable to get access, please submit an issue to the Genomics England Service Desk stating your username, the operating system you are using, the different browsers you have tried and any error messages that are shown.

Accessing clinical data in LabKey

...

Unfortunately LabKey is not immediately accessible when you first enter the Research Environment. To get access the clinical data, you need to:

  1. log into the Research Environment
  2. open LabKey by double-clicking on the LabKey icon on the desktop
  3. sign in using the same credentials you used to access the Research Environment by clicking 'sign-in' in the top-right corner of the browser window
  4. at this point, you should see a folder called 'MAIN PROGRAMME', which contains each data release from the Genomics England main programme
  5. if you are takin to an empty LabKey page and no data are visible, submit an issue to the Genomics England Service Desk entitled 'GeCIP researcher <username> requesting LabKey access' stating that you have successfully logged into LabKey within the Research Environment and are now requesting that your account be upgraded and you are given access to the LabKey projects to which you are entitledbut do not have access to any data. You should state you are a GeCIP member and need access to the main programme data. You will be notified when this has been completed, and the next time you log into LabKey you should have access to the appropriate data.

...

  • genomes - gives you access to the Genomics England datacentre and all of the sequencing data.
  • re_gecip - contains the tiering results completed by the Genomics England bioinformatics team and shared folders for each of the GeCIP domains. Access to the individual GeCIP domain folders is restricted to members of the domain.
