# Results format in colocalization before DF13

**The colocalization data contains data that was acquired by running a colocalization analysis between FinnGen data and other datasets.**

The colocalization results are tab-separated files. The results contain one source1-phenotype1-locus1 source2-phenotype2-locus2-pair per line. More information about data sources, phenotypes and loci can be found in the [Colocalization in FinnGen](https://docs.finngen.fi/finngen-data-specifics/green-library-data-aggregate-data/other-analyses-available/colocalizations) page.

The results contains the following columns:<br>

| Column name         | Column description                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
