About the workshop:

In recent years there has been a special interest of the younger human geneticists in organizing events that focus on their interests. With this aim in mind the ESHG Young Board and Young Geneticist Network (YGN) are organizing their first collaborative session during the ESHG 2020 Virtual Conference with a focus on themes related to professional development for young human geneticists.

Previously to ESHG 2020, the YGN community voted, on Facebook social media, for one topic to be discussed at this session and the selected topic was: Human Genetics in different countries. Two additional topics, selected by the organization of the workshop, will be discussed by a guest speaker.

About the workshop:

SCOPE: This workshop is about European Reference Networks (ERNs), which are virtual networks involving healthcare providers across Europe. They aim to facilitate discussion on complex or rare diseases and conditions that require highly specialized treatment, and concentrated knowledge and resources.

AIM: The workshop is aimed at presenting and raising awareness about the first European guidelines on heritable TP53-related cancer syndrome (formal Li-Fraumeni syndrome) and PTEN hamartoma tumour syndrome, recently published by the ERN GENTURIS members in EJHG. A general discussion with the audience is expected about guideline implementation in Europe and at the National level.

AUDIENCE: Health Professionals and Scientists working in the field of Human Genetics in Europe, mainly in the Hereditary Cancer context.

Attendees will learn about:

-The first European guidelines on heritable TP53-related cancer syndrome (formal Li-Fraumeni syndrome).
-The first European guidelines on PTEN hamartoma tumour syndrome.
-Strategies for guideline implementation in Europe and at the National level.

About the workshop:

The UCSC Genome Browser offers data and many visualization features to help the scientist get the most out of large genomic datasets. This virtual workshop will touch a few things that are useful in the Browser and not always discovered by the casual visitor.

1. The GTEx dataset presents transcription profiles for every human gene across a large number of tissues. The data are presented in the Browser as both a normalized dataset, averaging all transcripts of a gene locus and also as a transcript-specific dataset, making it possible to identify specific transcripts that may be expressed in a tissue of interest. A variant in a gene may become interesting if the researcher can identify an appropriate isoform/tissue combination.

2. Scientists can load their own expression data into the Genome Browser in the same barChart format as is used in the GTEx datasets. We will demonstrate how to display data in this format. It is an excellent way to summarize expression data that may cover a large number of tissues or treatments in a coherent visualization.

3. The Saved Sessions feature of the Browser is used to store and share sessions for future use. For example, a clinician may have a certain location and combination of datasets configured to tell a story about a patient sample and can save that configuration for easy access when discussing the case with the patient or colleagues. This and other sessions, saved for different purposes can be used to easily access important information.

4. The UCSC team typically focuses on human, mouse and other vertebrate genomes, particularly in service of comparative genomics and the things that can be learned by exploring homologies across the animal kingdom. However, in light of the recent global coronavirus situation, we have also built a genome browser on the SARS-CoV-2 genome, including proteomics, gene models and comparative datasets on variants around the world:

Virtual Session Room 1

Workshop Organisers:  Nicole de Leeuw, Erica Gerkes

About the workshop:

Various aspects of copy number variant (CNV) interpretation and classification in a diagnostic setting will be discussed in this interactive session. Data including multi-, intra- and intergenic CNVs detected by either genome wide array analysis or in Whole Exome/Genome Sequencing data will be presented.

The aim of this workshop is to focus on various aspects of copy number variant (CNV) interpretation and classification in a diagnostic setting. We will talk about multi-, intra- and intergenic CNVs detected by genome wide array analysis, but also CNV detection in Whole Exome/Genome Sequencing data will be included. We will use illustrative cases from our own diagnostic laboratories to have an interactive discussion on the more challenging findings, including reduced-penetrant, recurrent CNVs, noncoding CNVs and structurally rearranged chromosomal imbalances as well as patients with compound heterozygous variants in a recessive disease gene.

Participants are encouraged to send questions, comments or suggestions related to this topic by e-mail to Nicole.deLeeuw@radboudumc.nl before June 6, 2020.

About the workshop:

The workshop will discuss concepts and tools enabling more medical trained users in the analysis of whole exome variant data sets from individuals, families and cohorts. We will demonstrate how to efficiently filtrate and prioritize variants for different biomedical questions using inheritance, quality metrics, disease gene panels and phenotypic information and furthermore discuss data quality control as well as workflow validation.

Interpreting genetic variation in clinical research using Ensembl: exploring Ensembl/GENCODE annotation, MANE transcripts and the Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor

About the workshop:

The Ensembl/GENCODE geneset (www.ensembl.org) of protein coding genes, pseudogenes and lncRNAs on the human and mouse genomes is produced by expert manual annotation. Recently, Ensembl has joined with NCBI’s RefSeq team to produce the Matched Annotation from NCBI and EMBL-EBI (MANE) transcript set.

The aim is to generate a genome-wide set that:
1) aligns to GRCh38,
2) includes pairs of 100% identical Ensembl/GENCODE (ENST) and RefSeq (NM) transcripts and
3) is well-supported.

We envision this dataset serving as a unified high-value reference set for consistent reporting of genetic variation as well as for comparative genomics and basic research. This workshop will take you through the annotation process for Ensembl/GENCODE and MANE, allowing you to experience the challenges and conflicts involved in annotation and transcript selection. You will use use Ensembl’s Transcript Archive tool (Tark) to explore comparisons of different isoforms, versions and database sources for transcripts. You will also learn to use the popular Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) to map genetic variants onto Ensembl/GENCODE transcripts, determine their likely effects and filter to find candidate variants.

Virtual Session Room 4

Workshop Organisers:  Anton Nekrutenko, Marius van der Beek

About the workshop:

The goal of the workshop will be to demonstrate the utility of the Galaxy platform for analysis of large numbers of human samples. In this workshop we will use Galaxy and all currently available human metatransciptomic COVID-19 sequencing data to perform genomic analyses of human transcriptomic responses to the coronavirus infection.

This is will include:
– Identification of sequence variants in both host (diploid variant calling) and CODIV-19 (pooled calling)
– Analysis of transcriptome responses including the effect of COVID-19 on human unfolded protein response
– Analysis of coronavirus-related RIBOseq data
– Analysis of human Permanganate-seq data

The outcome of the workshop: Participants will learn how to use worldwide Galaxy instances to analyze multiple types of sequencing data including DNAseq, ChIPseq, RiboSeq, and RNAseq generated with Illumina, Oxford Nanopore, and Pacific Biosciences platforms.
