Hands-on tutorial for genotype imputation and data analysis using AfriGen-D's curated African genomic resources -- 19th Annual International Biocuration Conference, Cape Town, April 2026 # AfriGen-D Tutorial -- ISB Cape Town 2026 Tutorial materials for **"Genotype Imputation and Data Analysis for African Populations: A Hands-on Tutorial Using AfriGen-D's Curated African Genomic Resources"**, held at the 19th Annual International Biocuration Conference, Atlantic I, Lagoon Beach Hotel, Cape Town -- Monday 20 April 2026, 14:00--18:00 (content to 17:45) SAST. **View Tutorial Online:** ## Overview This site is a VitePress-based tutorial covering three AfriGen-D resources: - **FedImpute** -- Federated Genotype Imputation Platform. GA4GH-native (Beacon, DRS, WES, Passport). African-led, African-hosted on the ILIFU research cloud at UCT; routes jobs to the H3Africa panel backend with further federated African nodes to follow. (Michigan and TOPMed imputation servers are separate, non-federated services.) - **AGMP** -- African Genomic Medicine Portal. 17,470 curated variants across 6,270 genes, 48 drugs, 1,579 phenotypes, 1,194 studies. - **AGVD** -- African Genome Variation Database. Allele frequencies across 11 population clusters (five African regions plus global comparators). ## Contents - `index.md` -- home (hero + three feature cards) - `tutorial.md` -- the long-form imputation tutorial (section 0 covers FedImpute; sections 2--11 are a step-by-step walkthrough inherited from the 2025 short course and are being re-captured against FedImpute) - `agmp.md` -- AGMP session (portal overview + hands-on scaffold) - `agvd.md` -- AGVD session (portal overview + hands-on scaffold) - `schedule.md` -- 14:00--17:45 agenda (15-min buffer to 18:00) - `venue.md` -- Lagoon Beach Hotel Conference Centre + travel notes - `public/data/` -- sample VCF (chr22, hg38, 661 samples, ~4,400 variants) and phenotype file for GWAS - `public/images/` -- tutorial UI screenshots - `public/images/platforms/` -- landing pages for FedImpute, AGMP, AGVD ## Development ```bash npm install npm run docs:dev # local preview at localhost npm run docs:build # pro …
