About the Workshop:

Last year the NGS in the clinic workshop had several talks about errors in bio-informatic pipelines. These talks inspired us to think about how we as a community can learn from each other’s mistakes. Although it can sometimes be difficult to share mistakes with colleagues, we have to put the patient’s interest first and learn from them!

We have therefore made a questionnaire to ask the diagnostic and research community if there is a need for a platform to share pitfalls, and how we should go about this. We invite everyone interested to complete the questionnaire, which can be found here: https://www.research.net/r/NGSerrors

The 2019 workshop will build on last year’s workshop. We will start with two speakers, follow with the results of our questionnaire and end with a 45-min interactive debate on the next steps, using provocative statements to spark the discussion.

Workshop Organiser: Roy Sheppard, United Kingdom

How to present – How to network – How to enhance your career

• Do you brighten a room when you walk in, or when you leave?
• What do your colleagues say about you behind your back?

How you are perceived has a profound effect on your ability to attract professional opportunities into your life.

This thought-provoking and entertaining session will provide you with practical ideas, new skills and strategies to help you develop your career.

For example, everyone knows that being well-connected and meeting new people is important, but what if you’re a quiet type who dreads networking and the ‘torture’ of making small talk? You can learn how to appear more confident whilst remaining true to yourself.

Similarly, the best future opportunities invariably go to those who know how to present their ideas to large and small groups more clearly and confidently.

In this packed session, Roy Sheppard will also share the secrets that professional speakers use to deliver engaging and impactful presentations.

Open Targets Genetics: Integrating evidence from genome-wide associations and functional genomics to identify and prioritise drug targets

The workshop will focus on Open Targets Genetics (genetics.opentargets.org), a portal that uses a wide range of biological resources including NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog, UK Biobank, GTEx,  pQTL and chromatin interaction features enabling users to access an interactive visualisation of summary statistics plots along with fine-scale mapping, trait co-localisation, and gene prioritisation.

Participants will be able to use Open Targets Genetics to visualise and establish links between genes, variants, and diseases,  find shared susceptibility loci between different traits, investigate molecular trait-disease colocalisation and prioritise drug targets for their disease of interest.

The workshop will start with a short presentation followed by a live demo of the Open Targets Genetics portal and the functionality it offers. Participants will work through hands-on interactive exercises to familiarise themselves with the portal and datasets and conduct downstream analysis for their GWAS findings to prioritise drug targets.
