For Researchers
In addition to the BBJ’s own database, we also make genome and omics analysis data available from public databases such as the NBDC human database and AMED Genome Group Sharing Database (AGD). This enables BBJ to offer extensive genome and omics analysis data, empowering researchers to seamlessly integrate BBJ data into their studies and enhance data utilization across scientific communities.
*Starting Apr. 1, 2024, the Database Center for Life Science (DBCLS) operates the NBDC human database. Accordingly, URLs of the web site and the links related to the site have been changed.
BBJ manages and stores the data listed below in the BBJ database. These data and the clinical information associated with them will be provided to users by BBJ under certain conditions, after reviewing by the BBJ Sample and Data Access Committee as well as compliance with the security guidelines and contractual agreements.

Where to find the data：
NBDC human database
Genome group sharing Database (AGD)
❁AGD is a service for archiving and sharing of all types of individual-level genetic and de-identified phenotypic data within research project and group members. The data will be shared among researchers with an approval for access by Human Data Review Board of NBDC.
Details on cohort information is available at the webpage mentioned below.
Our History
Controlled-access data is available only for use for research purposes. The access-granted researchers must have research experience in related studies and can use the data for their studies, after clarifying information such as the purpose of data use and data users. For use, approval is required at the review by the NBDC Data Access Committee as well as compliance with the security guidelines.

AGD Group Shared Data are data shared in the AMED Genome group shared Database (AGD) in a framework that allows sharing in academic research or research that contributes to the improvement of public health within a research project or research group at an earlier stage, prior to its release at NBDC. AGD group-shared data can only be applied for by researchers who have been engaged in related research and whose purpose of use is limited to academic research or research that contributes to the improvement of course generation as principal researchers. Compliance with security guidelines is required for use.
