Collaborate with 23andMe

We have developed a number of programs to engage with
the broader research community.

Through our Research Innovation Collaborations Program, external academic researchers can work with 23andMe scientists to study the de-identified, aggregated data provided by the 23andMe Research Cohort of millions of participants with the goal of discovering new genetic associations and developing new methods and tools with our collaborators. 23andMe’s research and collaborations have been featured in more than one hundred publications, and our Publication Dataset Access Program supports sharing of the de-identified GWAS summary statistics.

COVID-19 Publication Dataset Access

As part of our commitment to rapidly publishing and sharing the results of our COVID-19 study to further research to understand and combat the disease, we are enabling dedicated access to our published COVID-19 GWAS through a branch of our Publication Dataset Access Program. We provide access to de-identified summary statistics from our published COVID-19 GWAS for use in your research through a data transfer agreement. To initiate this process, we ask that you provide a brief description of your research project and list the investigators at your institution who will access the data.

Publication Dataset Access

We are committed to supporting researchers, and one way we do this is by enabling access to data we have included in a publication. We provide access to de-identified summary statistics from published 23andMe GWAS for use in your research through a data transfer agreement. To initiate this process, we ask that you provide a brief description of your research project and list the investigators at your institution who will access the data.

Research Innovation Collaborations

The 23andMe Research Innovation Collaborations Program pairs up academic researchers with 23andMe scientists to power genetic discoveries, develop new analysis tools, and improve our interpretation of genetic data. Through this program, academic researchers can work with 23andMe to study de-identified, aggregated data from the 23andMe Research Cohort of millions of participants who have answered survey questions on wide-ranging topics. In particular, we are interested in collaborations that have the potential to catalyze novel findings beyond what we can accomplish on our own. We contribute to meta-analyses or replication of genome-wide association studies, evaluate new methodologies, and explore new data collection tools.
