Cohorts

Introduction to Cohorts

Cohorts is a cohort analysis tool integrated with Illumina BioInsight Platform Core. Cohorts combines subject- and sample-level metadata, such as phenotypes, diseases, demographics, and biometrics, with molecular data stored in Platform Core to perform tertiary analyses on selected subsets of individuals.
