[Mississauga, ON.] Genome interpretation is the most complex bottleneck for clinical diagnosis, therapeutics and drug targets. Recent advancement of genome sequencing technologies are now providing labs with power to produce huge amounts of clinical genomic data. For clinics, interpretation of variants according to ACMG or other guidelines is crucial that requires massive cohort databases, regular updates, reanalysis and technological capacity to adopt numerous tertiary analysis. For all the clinical genomics labs in the world, technological availability and its adoption is critical to increase precision and ethnicity specific genetic insights.

Join us in this exciting discussion where Dr. Mohammed Uddin Dafil a Canadian geneticist who founded GenomeArc will discuss the current technologies that are critical in interpreting genomes for clinical impact. His talk will include the application of 

- long read sequencing, 

- recent pangenome initiatives, and 

- the application of artificial intelligence for better clinical interpretation of genomes.
