The EVA is an open-access genetic variation data repository, currently hosting more than 80 studies describing in excess of 520 million unique variants. Participants will be shown how this data can be searched for at the study level via the EVA Study Browser, or at the individual variant level, via our Variant Browser. Finally participants shall also be shown how to access this wealth of genetic variation data via the EVA API.
