Data Access Policy for the CentralAfricanCMC_Pemberton dataset

The CentralAfricanCMC_Pemberton dataset encompasses 153,798 SNPs from the Illumina Cardio-MetaboChip (Voight et al. 2012) genotyped in 406 individuals from 19 Central African Populations from Gabon, Cameroon, Centralafrican Republic and Uganda). Phenotypic and cultural information at the individual level for this data set encompass gender, lifestyle (hunter-gatherer or farmer), and, when available, stature phenotype (standing height in cm, sitting-height in cm, and weight in kg). Other cultural, linguistic, and geographical location information about the sampled populations can be found in Pemberton et al. Human Genetics 2018 (https://doi.org/10.1007/s00439-018-1902-3). This dataset can only be accessed and used for non-commercial research purposes with a finality complying with the informed consent provided by Central African donors for the study of human evolutionary history only. For accessing the data, please provide: 1. An explicit title for the project you wish to use the data for. 2. A detailed institutional affiliation of all recipients and users of the data. 3. A summary (500 words) of the research project, with emphasis on its scientific and societal finality, and predicted outputs. If access is granted by the DAC, data cannot be shared with a third party not initially involved in the project, without the third party officially applying for accessing the data. Reference to Pemberton et al. Human Genetics 2018 (https://doi.org/10.1007/s00439-018-1902-3) should be made appropriately in all published articles, posters, or oral communications, which make use of all or part of this data.
