The ELIXIR hCNV Community - Making complex genomics accessible

This webinar is part of a series run by the ELIXIR with over 100 videos covering a range of different activities, these are all found on the ELIXIR YouTube Channel.

Abstract:

Genomic copy number variants (CNV) are a major contributor to human genome variation and important factors in rare disease genetics and cancer genomics. However, the complexity of CNV detection technologies, the lack of standardised annotation formats and the fragmentation of cytogenetic and genomic communities so far has limited large scale utilization of CNV profiles in computational genomics. Here, the ELIXIR hCNV community provides a group of experts with various (cyto-)genetic, genomic and computational backgrounds, working on common standards, implementations, workflows, training and documentation relevant for structural genome variation analysis, utilization and data sharing aspects.
