How it works
- Sign in (or register) for a FedImpute account.
- Prepare your GWAS genotypes as VCF on the GRCh38 (hg38) build (or lift over at submission).
- Start a New Imputation Job and select this panel.
- FedImpute phases your genotypes (Eagle) and imputes against the panel (Minimac4).
- Download your phased and imputed genotypes as VCF.
