# Genotype Files in Sandbox

FinnGen updates genotype data in each [Data Release](/finngen-data-specifics/finngen-data-freezes-and-releases.md) and makes these files available to Sandbox users.

### Sandbox directory

Since Data Release 4 genotype data is available in the following sandbox directory:

`/finngen/library-red/finngen_R[RELEASE]`

The genotype data of releases 1-3 can be found from:

`/finngen/library-red/finngen_R[RELEASE]_core_analysis_results`

### Data files

The data files are described in the following sections:

[Imputed genotypes in VCF format](/finngen-data-specifics/red-library-data-individual-level-data/genotype-data/types-of-genotype-files-available/imputation-data-file.md)

[Imputed genotypes in BGEN format](/finngen-data-specifics/red-library-data-individual-level-data/genotype-data/types-of-genotype-files-available/bgen-file.md)

**Note.** If multiple versions of the same files exist, use the newest. Readmes should describe the version differences.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.finngen.fi/finngen-data-specifics/red-library-data-individual-level-data/genotype-data/types-of-genotype-files-available.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
