During this workshop, we will present an end-to-end federated data analysis use case covering federated data discovery and access, bioinformatics analysis, and ethical and legal considerations for responsible and fair data sharing flow. The workshop will comprise a mix of lectures and demos with some hands-on tutorials if time permits. Lectures will introduce key concepts for federated data sharing and analysis, GA4GH Beacon API, GA4GH Passports and Visas, and the Data Use Ontology (DUO), followed by practical sessions on real-world research and clinical applications.

In this webinar, we will give an overview of the CINECA workflows for genotype imputation, gene expression and splicing quantification, data normalisation and association testing, and demonstrate how these workflows can be used in a federated setting without transferring identifiable personal data between partners.
