On: Ask HN: What medical datasets do you need?

[ljw1001]

Combined phenotype/genotype datasets. These are (with some good reason) very difficult for anyone outside the medical-research establishment to get access to, but the net result is that it creates market barriers supporting the existing big players.

Not sure if this is exactly what you're after, but Gene2Phenotype has some genetic association data: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gene2phenotype/downloads

These are quite difficult to get (and very expensive to produce) even inside the medical-research establishment. Which big players are you referring to?

[ljw1001 → davecap1]

Large research universities and hospitals, Pharma, and, of course, the Broad.

I understand pharma not sharing but much of the hospital/broad/university data is produced with (at least some) public money.
