In this upcoming Bioinformatics and Computational Methods Shared Interest Group (SIG) Seminar, Dr. Fritz Sedlazeck will present on mosaic structural variants (SVs) and tandem repeat (TR) mutations, as well as introduce a new extension of Sniffles, an SV caller.

Dr. Noura Abul-Husn and Sabrina Suckiel will discuss healthcare provider experiences returning monogenic, polygenic, and integrated risk results for common chronic conditions in the eMERGE study. Key findings from a cross-sectional survey of study providers involved in result disclosure highlight differences in confidence and perceived complexity across genomic risk types, as well as key considerations and challenges in communicating polygenic and integrated risk scores.

Updates on recent changes in structure, policies, and priorities at NHGRI and NIH.

This webinar highlights four innovative programs training paraprofessionals in genomics competencies. Speakers will share how partnerships were built between lead and partner sites, describe developed curricula, demonstrate interactive activities, and discuss the training's impact on learners and programs, particularly its role in advancing workforce diversity efforts.
