Abstract

Learn more about Golden Helix’s SNP & Variation Suite (SVS) – a powerful and integrated collection of high-performance analytic tools for managing, analyzing, and visualizing large-scale sequence and array-based data. Applications of SVS include candidate gene analysis, genome-wide association, copy number analysis, and next-generation sequencing. This webinar will focus primarily on rare variant analysis for DNA-sequencing.

The presentation will cover the following:

  • Introduction to SVS
  • Managing variant data and genomic annotations
  • Filtering and classification workflows to identify variants likely to be damaging
  • Visualizing SNVs and indels in a genome browser to compare variant pattern differences between sample groups
  • Assessing rare variant burden using collapsing and association methods
