You're invited to the GA4GH Hackathon!

The GA4GH Hackathon, brought to you by the Federated Analysis Systems Project (FASP) group, is a 2 week-long virtual event that focuses on API improvement of existing GA4GH specifications, and implementing GA4GH specifications in new environments. The hackathon is composed of multiple topics which aim to either:
