13th NACG workshop Jan 2023

Maximizing the value of short read sequencing

The 13th NACG workshop focuses on maximising the value of short-read sequencing in germline testing. This 2-day workshop has a clinical and bioinformatic track, and consists of sessions looking at different aspects of WGS-based diagnostics. The workshop will be held at the conference center Tammsvik, conveniently located approximately 30 minutes from Arlanda.

We invite researchers, clinicians, bioinformaticians, as well technology developers and providers to participate. The registration fee of 3500 kr (excl VAT) covers accommodation (1 night), all meals and 2-way transportation from Stockholm city center or Arlanda (in the morning of Jan 19 and return on Jan 20).

We also invite participating labs to contribute to the scientific content of the meeting. The various sessions are briefly described in the agenda. Please get directly in contact with the session drivers to discuss contributions:

• Rapid-fire session on knowledge sharing - Janna Saarela (j.s.saarela@ncmm.uio.no)
• Session I - Structural variation and different reference genomes - Jesper Eisfeldt (jesper.eisfeldt@ki.se)
• Session II - Add-on analyses on top of conventional WGS - Anders Jemt (anders.jemt@scilifelab.se)
• Session II - Filtering / prioritisation strategies - Morten Dunø (Morten.Dunoe@regionh.dk) and Eirikur Briem (eirikubr@landspitali.is)
