The Dutch Microbiome Project Batch 1

DMP data access policy

The raw microbiome sequencing data, processed microbiome data (including taxonomy, pathway, virulence factors and antibiotic resistance gene profiles) and basic phenotypes (including age, sex and BMI) used in this study are available at the European Genome-Phenome Archive (EGA, https://ega-archive.org/) as EGA study EGAS00001005027 (https://ega-archive.org/studies/EGAS00001005027). These datasets require a minimal access procedure (provision of a contact address and a completed data access form, described in detail at EGA: https://ega-archive.org/datasets/EGAD00001007027) to ensure that the data is being requested for research/scientific purposes only and thus complies with the informed consent signed by Lifelines participants, which specifies that the collected data will not be used for commercial purposes. Submitted data access forms will be evaluated by the data manager and Lifelines, and a response to requests will be given within two weeks. For requests from verified academic parties, access will be given without further delay. For requests from commercial parties, Lifelines will perform a pre-DPIA (Data Privacy Impact Assessment) to assess the risks of the proposed processing of personal data (e.g. purpose, storage, access, archiving, etc.) with respect to the GDPR (EU privacy laws) subject rights. Based on the outcome of the pre-DPIA, Lifelines will decide whether sharing data with the commercial entity is allowed and/or whether additional measures have to be taken.
