ASHG Connect: Your Online Member Community
ASHG Connect is ASHG’s newest member benefit: an online community and Shared Interest Groups (SIGs). This is where you can actively Connect, Communicate, and Collaborate with fellow ASHG members, staff, and leadership plus meet others with similar ideas, interests, and issues.
ASHG Connect has been brought forward thanks to the work of ASHG’s Membership Engagement Committee. The Committee has stressed the importance of being able to communicate with peers professionally and ASHG Connect was implemented. We hope that through regular dialogue and information sharing, you will form new, stronger professional and personal connections within the scientific community.
Review the ASHG Connect instructional video to learn tips and tricks of how best to navigate the platform.
There will be three Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) to start. Members may join one or more SIG:
- Bioinformatics and Computational Methods

- Phenotypes & Genotypes
- Mission: The Phenotypes & Genotypes community is a committed space to discuss the following topics: Medical genomics, Clinical utility of genomic diagnostics, Variant curation and interpretation research and validation, Gene discovery, Animal models.
- Emerging Laboratory Technologies
