ACMG 2024

12 - 16 March 2024 EDT
Toronto, Canada

Event overview

Members of the medical genetics and genomics community from across the globe will come together for four days of professional growth, education, networking, and collaboration. The ACMG Annual Meeting provides a can’t miss opportunities for industry, advocacy groups, government agencies, recruiters, academic institutions, and publishers to position their organization and showcase products and services to practitioners representing the entire genetics team.

Who says you can’t see it all? With a comprehensive view of structural variants and methylation, nanopore technology powers the bigger and bolder research questions you’ve always wanted to ask. Join the Oxford Nanopore team at booth 1514 to learn more about nanopore sequencing.

Come and meet the team

Members of the Oxford Nanopore team will be on hand throughout ACMG. Please contact events@nanoporetech.com ahead of the event if you would like to arrange a meeting. You will be able to find us at booth number ​1514 during exhibit hall hours - do stop by and say hello!

BadgerSeq: Developing a decentralized model for ultra-rapid long-read whole genome sequencing

Date: Friday, March 15th, 2024

Time: 10:30 – 11:00 AM

Location: Pacific E

Rapid genome sequencing for the diagnosis of critically ill infants currently has significant gaps: Access – short-read sequencing technology limits rapid genome sequencing to a small number of very high throughput laboratories nationwide; Reach – short-read sequencing cannot detect many clinically important genomic variants; and Speed – the time from clinical presentation to initial results typically exceeds 7 days, after numerous critical clinical decisions have already been made.

To address these challenges we are developing Badger-Seq, a decentralized model for 72 hour genomic sequencing that combines artificial intelligence-assisted selection of patients and long-read nanopore sequencing with automated genome interpretation and reporting. Early data from retrospective and prospective cases run through this pipeline will be shared in this presentation. More details can be found here: https://fabricgenomics.com/products/acmg-2024/
