WEBINAR: Global data resources for human genomics and health
Date: 20 September 2024 @ 15:00 - 16:00
Timezone: Melbourne
Duration: 1 hour
Dr Mallory Freeberg takes us on a whirlwind tour of the human genomics data resources available at EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI). Used by scientists across the world, these resources enable the discovery and exploration of genes, variants and their impact on human health and disease.
Resources that will be covered in this webinar include:
Ensembl: a genome browser that supports research in comparative genomics, evolution, sequence variation and transcriptional regulation
DECIPHER: an interactive web-based database and suite of tools that aid the clinical interpretation of genomic variants_**
Federated EGA: a global resource for discovery and access of sensitive human omics and associated data consented for secondary use
Perturbation Catalogue: a new project from Open Targets that is building a catalogue of harmonised and curated human gene, variant, and expression data
EMBL-EBI’s comprehensive range of freely available and up-to-date molecular data resources are used by scientists globally. The teams running these resources collaborate closely with international experts and are key partners in human genomic data sharing communities including the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health.
Speaker: Dr Mallory Freeberg, Human Genomics Team Leader, EMBL European Bioinformatics Institute
Date/Time: 20 September 2024, 3 - 4 pm AEST/ 2:30 - 3:30 pm ACST / 1 - 2 pm AWST
