# Introduction

This package defines an AnnotationHub resource
representing the EBI GWAS catalog on March 30 2021.

```{r get-data}
library(AnnotationHub)
ahub = AnnotationHub()
mymeta <- query(ahub , "gwascatData")
mymeta
tag = names(mymeta)[1] 
tag
head(ahub[[tag]][,1:6])
```

The gwascat package includes tooling to transform
this to a GRanges-like object.
