FinnGen Tools and Data workshop

Tampere University and FinnGen are organising a 4-week course on using FinnGen tools and data resources including demos and hands-on sessions. Utilities to explore and analyse Green and Red data resources are introduced and demonstrated, with the possibility to work on an example or own dataset with on-site help from FinnGen experts.

For work inside the FinnGen Sandbox environment additional analysis tools such as R and RStudio, the Linux command line or SQL are introduced.

Please note that a working Sandbox account is needed for weeks 2-4.
