GREGoR Ancillary Session on October 16th
This Ancillary Event provides an opportunity to learn more about the most recent data released by the Genomics Research to Elucidate the Genetics of Rare diseases (GREGoR) Consortium. We’ll be presenting information about the dataset - including the latest GA4GH Variant Annotation features, and features to support working with the data on the AnVIL platform. This dataset is designed to improve our understanding of the complex connections between genomic variation and disease trait manifestation, and is available for General Research and Health/Medical/Biomedical research.
Light refreshments will be provided, though guests are encouraged to bring lunch. Seating is limited to 150 participants.
Date & Time: Thursday, October 16th 11:45 am - 1:15 pm
Location: Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center - Room 102AB
Agenda:
11:45 Gathering and Social time
11:50 Introductory Remarks, Dr. Ben Heavner, Senior Research Scientist, University of Washington GREGoR Data Coordinating Center
11:55 "AI-ready cohort allele frequency data from GREGoR using GA4GH Genomic Knowledge Standards" Dr. Alex Wagner (VRS)
