The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical genomics is causing some diagnostic labs to consider how the technology can improve time-consuming components of their workflow—especially variant curation. The primary bottleneck to achieving accurate and comprehensive variant curation is the need to manually locate, assess, annotate and document evidence from scientific and clinical literature. While AI is a logical solution to these challenges, can diagnostic labs trust it?
In this webinar, we examine a new study by Stanford University that analyzes the accuracy, consistency, and comprehensiveness of automated and manual germline variant curation. The study compares the quality of data from Stanford’s Automatic VAriant evidence DAtabase (AVADA) to the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD), an expert-curated resource for human inherited disease mutations.
By attending this webinar, you will:
- Analyze a series of use-cases comparing the performance of AI-driven variant curation to manual approaches
- Receive a virtual demonstration of how HGMD presents mutation data, including how the database provides genomic coordinates, Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) nomenclatures for variants, citations from key publications, and where a variant is described in a paper or supplemental text
- Learn how HGMD simplifies literature review and supports CNV interpretation
- Receive a complimentary 5-day trial of HGMD Professional

2023-04-26T08:00:00ZHow to capture low-level virus-cell interactions with Protein Interaction Coupling (PICO) technology
Zoonotic viruses, such as influenza A, can overcome species barriers to pose a serious threat to human health. Understanding the entry mechanism of these viruses is essential to grasping their full tropism and zoonotic potential. But efforts to identify virus-cell interactions are frequently impeded as these interactions take place at very low levels.
In this webinar, join Prof. Dr. Martin Schwemmle from University of Freiburg, as he discusses his Nature publication on identifying the entry mediator for bat influenza A viruses in multiple species, using PICO technology.
The webinar will cover:
- PICO as a protein-protein interaction approach based on digital PCR
- How PICO and other methods were used to identify and confirm MHC class II proteins as mediators of cross-species entry of bat influenza viruses
- Future directions for PICO technology and viral research
