This workshop is for those passionate about human genetics who want to meaningfully impact the field through advocacy. You will gain foundational and practical skills to become an advocate, building on ASHG's ongoing efforts and highlighting available advocacy tools to the broader research community. This session is your invitation to step into the world of advocacy, armed with newfound knowledge and practical skills. Don't miss the chance to unlock your advocacy potential. No prior advocacy experience required!

Hear from ASHG volunteers on how to navigate the Annual Meeting as a first-time attendee or trainee. We will cover a range of topics, from badge pick-up to networking opportunities and how to make the most of your experience. You will also have the opportunity to ask your questions during a Q&A period.

This session will provide an interactive, guided demonstration of the public facing genomic tools, including the new PheWAS x GWAS data browser as well as an interactive, guided demonstration of our cloud computing platform, the Researcher Workbench. It will also provide participants a hands-on opportunity to replicate a research study with new genomic data types including structural variant and long reads data. Instructors will conduct an interactive Q&A session to engage attendees about the All of Us Researcher Workbench and the novel technology implemented to conduct genomic analyses.

This symposium will discuss genetic exceptionalism, such as origin and practice in genetics.

This session will feature 3 plenary talks presented at ASHG 2022 plus live Q&A and panel discussion for each

This session features presentations by all 6 Trainee Research Excellence Award winners from ASHG 2022

The workshop will provide an interactive, hands-on experience for participants and familiarize the audience with the latest bioinformatics tools that facilitate automation of genetic annotation and pharmacogenomics (PGx) annotation for large-scale, electronic health record-linked health care systems.
