Expanding Genomics Training through Inclusive Partnerships
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.
Exploring Genes and Variants in Human Pangenome Assemblies with the New Ensembl Genome Browser
This webinar equips participants with practical skills to explore human genomics beyond traditional reference genome. Explore the new Ensembl genome browser (https://beta.ensembl.org/) with the latest human genomes available, and learn which tools are available to explore these in more detail.
Meeting the Moment: Impactful Science Communication and Education on Genetics
This webinar will present strategies for engagement with other genetics professionals, educators, and the broader public to support informed civic engagement on genetics towards an equitable and just future.
Aberrant N-glycosylation may be a therapeutic target in carriers of a common and highly pleiotropic variant in the manganese transporter ZIP8
November HGG Advances Journal Club presented by Joanna Melia, MD
ASHG 2025 Annual Meeting: Know Before You Go
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.
Scientific Communication Beyond the Lab: Techniques for Clarity and Impact
Learn how to adapt your communication when discussing genetics with both patients and the public.
Diving into the Genetics of Target Discovery Using the (Expanded) Open Targets Platform
This webinar will introduce the expanded Open Targets Platform to the ASHG community, showcasing its new features and how it can drive advances in human genetics research and drug discovery.
Multimodal Representation for Better Genetic Discovery from Physiological Waveforms
Yuchen Zhou will discuss a novel method that applies a multimodal AI model to physiological waveforms, like ECGs, to improve the genetic prediction of cardiovascular traits. The presentation will cover how this novel approach leveraged the shared and orthogonal signals in multimodal data and led to better genetic discovery.
Genetic Ancestry and Gene-environment Interactions in a Hispanic/Latino Cohort
Drs. Sharma and Wojcik will present recently published work investigating the role of both genetic ancestry and sociocultural factors when considering the genetic risk for body-mass-index (BMI) in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. Significant gene-environment interactions persisted in only some subgroups of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, even after adjustment for ancestry differences, emphasizing the importance of finer-level population descriptors in avoiding spurious findings of gene-environment interactions due to both genetic and sociocultural substructure.
