Bulk searching locus tables (including L2G and V2G data) in Open Targets Genetics using Google BigQuery

I am interested in downloading locus tables (see example below) for many genes in bulk. I viewed all tables available in Google BigQuery but I cannot find a database that stores the locus-to-gene data, with the “Overall V2G” scores.

Is there a way to download such tables in bulk, or maybe the whole database, that I could extract genes of interest?

The table has an additional 2,428 rows

Hi, seems you already have the V2G scores for these variants/gene assignments. The L2G (can be bulk downloaded via ftp or GCS) is slightly different as it provides gene assignments at a locus level, rather than at a variant level.

A potential solution is to join the L2G table and your input table based on the following columns: study ID (study_id in L2G), lead variant (concat chrom, pos, ref, alt in L2G), Gene (gene_id in L2G).
