# AfriGen-D Tutorial -- ISB Cape Town 2026
Tutorial materials for **"Genotype Imputation and
Data Analysis for African Populations: A Hands-on

Resources"**, held at the 19th Annual International

## 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

short course and are being re-captured against
FedImpute)

samples, ~4,400 variants) and phenotype file for
GWAS
