dbGaPdb/dbGaPdb: dbGaP metadata as a relational database

The Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP) at the NCBI contains public and controlled access metadata about studies involving human subjects. It is also the entry point for accessing genomic data for study subjects (after obtaining appropriate access). This package facilitates mining of metadata in dbGaP and related genomic data by parsing all the open access metadata into a relational database. Enhanced searching, data summaries, text mining, and metadata enhancement (via mapping to ontologies) are just a few potential applications.
