ASHG 2022

SOPHiA GENETICS is excited to be a part of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) Annual Meeting 2022, held in person in Los Angeles, California, USA from October 25-29. 

You will have the chance to chat with our experts at booth #1733 and demo the universal SOPHiA DDM™ Platform as well as learn more about our Application and Technical Notes.

Application Note: Mitochondrial genome analysis with SOPHiA DDM™️ Whole-Exome Sequencing
Learn about how SOPHiA GENETICS addressed the unique challenges associated with genotyping mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to develop robust pipelines for mitochondrial genome analysis. See for yourself how in a single workflow, the SOPHiA DDM™️ Platform complemented by Alamut™️ Visual Plus can be used to identify and interpret variants in mtDNA alongside SNVs, Indels, and CNVs in nuclear DNA.

Alamut™️ Visual Plus Technical Note: Guideline-driven nomenclature for variant analysis
Gain clarity on the guidelines behind the nomenclature convention employed in Alamut™️ Visual Plus. Read our descriptive guide to the HGVS nomenclature standard, genome reference assemblies, and MANE transcripts, and how these universal standards for variant analysis and interpretation are applied in Alamut™️ Visual Plus.

Join us for our Lunch & Learn symposium!

Fully integrated workflows to accurately interpret genomic variants associated with rare and inherited diseases

There are multiple steps involved in gaining insights from next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, which can take considerable time and involve several technologies and providers. In our lunch symposium, hear first-hand about how we collaborate with renowned genomic experts to design and implement cost-effective, tailored NGS-based applications to maximize workflow efficiency.

Discover how our sample-to-report workflows streamline the accurate identification and interpretation of nuclear and mitochondrial variants associated with rare and inherited diseases, including hereditary cancers.

Our speakers will share how the SOPHiA DDMTM Platform adapts to their laboratory’s needs to accurately call and prioritize variants in combination with AlamutTM Visual Plus for deep exploration and full-genome visualization to enhance variant interpretation
