Synthetic representation of the EPICOLON2 dataset

This Zenodo repository contains a fully synthetic dataset created as an open-access representation of the data types held in the controlled-access dataset EGAD00010001715, available through the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) under the EPICOLON2 project. The original dataset comprises genome-wide genotyping data generated on Affymetrix 6.0 arrays for a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) of colorectal cancer in the Spanish population. The files provided here do not contain any real individual-level data. They are entirely synthetic and have been generated solely to illustrate the structure and file formats of the original dataset. The synthetic data preserves the format and field structure of the originals but contains no biologically meaningful signal. The repository includes the following file types: .CEL file — A synthetic Affymetrix CEL (version 3, text format) file with 10 probes, representing the raw intensity output from the Affymetrix 6.0 genotyping array used in the original study. .BED / .BIM / .FAM files — Synthetic PLINK binary genotype files containing 10 simulated SNPs across 1,299 individuals, representing the post-calling genotype data format of the original dataset.
