Abstract

To accelerate the impact of African genomics on human health, data science skills and awareness of Africa's rich genetic diversity must be strengthened globally. We describe the first African genomics data science workshop, implemented by the African Society of Human Genetics (AfSHG) and international partners, providing a framework for future workshops.

Keywords: African Society of Human Genetics; African genomics; data analysis skills; data science; workshop.
