Helmholtz Munich Launches Imputation Server

Helmholtz Munich launches the Helmholtz Munich Imputation Server, providing an imputation service for researchers based in the European Union (EU) and beyond. Imputation, the statistical inference of unobserved genotypes, is essential for genetic analyses and requires uploading raw genotype data. However, because genetic data are classified as a special category under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), using servers located outside the EU or in countries lacking adequacy agreement is prohibited. The Helmholtz Munich Imputation Server is therefore a key platform for thousands of researchers in the EU and worldwide.
