5 Overview

One of the great features of AnVIL is that it “brings the analysis to the data”. Rather than downloading and storing your own copy of an AnVIL dataset, you can simply create links to the existing data, and run analyses using those links.

You can find a slide overview of this demo here. You can also check out the video version here.
