Workshop: Genome mapping nomenclature and ISCN 2024

Description

Participants will gain an understanding of the new cytogenomic mapping nomenclature and see how it compare to array and sequence ISCN nomenclature in different settings through worked examples and an interactive question and answer session plus an audience quiz. This workshop will fill in the current knowledge gap on how to report cytogenomic mapping results from established and emerging cytogenomic techniques. The interactive session will enable participants to see how much they have understood and where further education is required. This online workshop will be more beneficial to participants than independent learning as the workshop is interactive; enabling participants to ask questions, pose complex cases to the experts that require a solution and to work through some examples with real-time support.

• The workshop will present examples of worked examples as well as educational tools available for laboratories and individuals.
• The workshop will provide an interactive question and answer session of cases submitted by participants (deadline for submission 30th August). Cases will be reviewed during the September 18th workshop.
• Finally, there will be an audience quiz and Q & A session.
  This online workshop will enable participants to ask questions, pose complex cases to the experts that require a solution and to work through some examples with online support.
