Because of the sensitivity of the data within the Genomics England Research Environment, we have provided an environment within which all analysis will be done. This avoids any potential security breaches that might occur when downloading data, but does require the environment to be quite restrictive to enforce those protections. However, by providing a secure environment it allows us to make a far broader set of row-level data available for research; you have access to data that would not otherwise be available to researchers. It also means you will always have access to the most up-to-date research dataset and can run your analyses on a high-performance compute cluster for no charge.
On these pages you'll find training materials for the Genomics England Research Environment, and helpful information on understanding the data you will have access to. If there is something we've missed, doesn't make sense, or is just plain wrong then please add a comment at the appropriate place and we'll look into it.
