Welcome to the ukbpheno wiki! The UK Biobank is a large-scale population cohort with in-depth collection of phenotypic and genetic data . The evidence supporting the diagnosis of a certain health outcome may be reported by the participants (during their visits to the assessment centers or online follow-ups) or via linkage to national registries, primary care and secondary care data. The self-report data at the assessment center is further divided into two categories, namely those reported during a nurse interview and touchscreen of which various encoding systems apply.

ukbpheno is a package written in R for parsing of UK Biobank data for the generation of binary (case/control) phenotypes. Equipped with visualization functions, it allows users to interactively probe and explore the data. ....
