Golden Helix at ASHG 2024: Come Say Hi and Check Out Our Latest Innovations!

         October 29, 2024

Guess what, Golden Helix users and interested parties? We will be front and center at the ASHG 2024 Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado, from November 6-8—and we’ve got a ton to share with you. If you’re attending, make sure you swing by booth #959 because we’re bringing some great new information on our latest updates that are going to take your workflows to the next level.

What Are We Bringing?

Think cutting-edge. Think next-gen sequencing (NGS). Think automation that makes your life easier. At Golden Helix, we’ve been hard at work refining our tools to help you power through your genomic analysis, whether it’s for cancer research, rare disease diagnostics, or even pharmacogenomics. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect:

  • VarSeq – The ultimate tool for your variant analysis and annotation needs.
  • VSClinical – Next-level clinical analysis and reporting that’s tailored for oncology and hereditary diseases.
  • CancerKB – Want the latest in cancer mutation insights? We’ve got you covered with our comprehensive cancer knowledge base.
  • VS Warehouse – This is for those who love to keep things organized and want enterprise-level automation and recalling of historical data.

Live Demos? You Bet!

We’re not just showing up—we’re showing off! We’ve got live demos happening at the booth, so come hang out with us and see our tools in action. You’ll get a firsthand look at our new updates, including features in VarSeq designed to assess compound heterozygous variants (which is as cool as it sounds, trust me). Plus, we’re rolling out CancerKB 4.0, which has a sharp focus on blood cancers—if this is your area of interest, you don’t want to miss it. Check out our schedule of demos below!

Have time for a full suite breakdown?

Our Director of Field Application Services and master of all things NGS analysis will present a CoLab Talk that explains our entire software suite. Be sure to join us, and don’t miss out on this opportunity to see all the tools we offer!

Golden Helix: VarSeq, A Comprehensive and Scalable NGS Analysis Suite
Thursday, November 7, 12:45 – 1:15, Theater 3
Presented by: Darby Kammeraad, Director of Field Application Services
Join us for an insightful session where we’ll present the latest advancements in NGS analysis and clinical interpretation. Experience our high-quality variant analysis and interpretation capabilities that seamlessly scale to your needs, supporting both short and long-read technologies. Learn how to implement ACMG and AMP guidelines for accurate variant interpretation, directly call CNVs across target regions, exomes, and whole genomes, and establish repeatable clinical workflows. We’ll also showcase the latest updates in our cancer analysis tools, discuss prenatal and rare disease screening advancements, and demonstrate the integration of VarSeq Dx for clinical diagnostics with VSWarehouse for robust data management. Additionally, get a closer look at our recently unveiled pharmacogenomics solution, VSPGx, based on the CPIC guidelines.

Meet the Team (Yes, We’re Fun!)

The Golden Helix crew will be there, ready to chat, answer questions, and nerd out about genetics. We love connecting with people who are passionate about advancing genomic analysis, so come by and let’s talk shop. Whether you’re curious about how our software can help with your research or just want to meet the faces behind the tech, we’ve got you covered.

Let’s Make It Happen at ASHG 2024!

The countdown is on, and we couldn’t be more pumped to meet you in Denver. Mark your calendars for November 6-8, and find us at booth #959. We’re bringing the tools, the knowledge, and the energy. See you there!
