Workshops

Dr. Julie R. Coleman, Dr. Shamika Ketkar, and Dr. Jinyoung Byun of the All of Us Evenings with Genetics (AoUEwG) Research Program at Baylor College of Medicine will provide training on the platform and tools to access and analyze the NIH’s All of Us data.

Stephen Mosher, Elena Ghanaim, Ava Hoffman, Anton Kovalsky and Fred Tan will discuss the new data management and sharing (DMS) policy released by the National Institutes of Health. In this workshop, attendees will learn about key data-sharing practices and take a journey through the Terra and AnVIL ecosystem to explore the features that meet NIH’s desirable characteristics.

Participants will gain an understanding of the new cytogenomic mapping nomenclature and see how it compare to array and sequence ISCN nomenclature.

Single-cell data provides unprecedented resolution within tissues to observe the gene-expression patterns in tissues, but it also produces mountains of data stored in hundreds of tables. Participants will explore the resources and learn how to filter data along the many dimensions.

David Higgins will present an overview of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Data Resource and its publicly-funded, free-to-access genomic and clinical datasets for research in pediatric cancer and structural birth defects. Attendees will follow along and be learn how to query the data, build virtual cohorts of participants, apply for access, build an analysis workflow, and analyze the data in an interactive notebook.

This workshop will provide in-depth training on the design and implementation of research studies using the principles and practices of population-based newborn screening.
