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.
23andMe evaluates and selects Research Innovation Collaborations twice a year. The next deadline for proposal submission is December 12, 2020.
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.
If you are a researcher and you seek to genotype a population that is under-represented in genetic studies, we’d like to collaborate with you. 23andMe’s Populations Collaborations program aims to expand and improve our Reference Data Panel through capturing the genetic diversity of populations around the world who are underrepresented in our database and in genetics research globally. By genotyping samples from such populations, we will support researchers who are working with understudied populations and thereby expand genomic studies to be more inclusive.
Genotyping Services for Research is an easy, fast and cost-effective way to incorporate genetic information into your study. Whether you regularly perform genetic studies, or have never done so before, the simplicity and flexibility of our end-to-end service will help you. Recruit faster and from a wider geographical area while providing valuable information back to your research participants through the 23andMe experience. Pricing is based on the size of the study.
