There are multiple high-throughput methods being used in COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium (PCR barcoding, CoronaHiT, CovidSeq, bait capture, RC-PCR) as well as rapid turnaround Oxford Nanopore methods.

Our manuscript exploring the value of SARS-CoV-2 Group Testing in Healthcare Settings has just been published in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics. Great to collaborate with Bill Newman, Jamie Ellingford, DS Analytics, and colleagues from MFT NHS and The North West Genomic Laboratory Hub on this work. jmdjournal.org/article/S1525-…

Our article now accepted and available eLife - the journal The North West Genomic Laboratory Hub Evolution, Infection and Genomics (EIG) UoM elifesciences.org/articles/65453

"A collaboration between Evolution, Infection and Genomics (EIG) UoM and MFT NHS has applied new techniques to detect and track the transmission of Covid-19 in hospital." Now out at eLife - the journal! manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/…

Excellent work by Charlie Rowlands and Jamie Ellingford. Identifying best computational approaches for splicing variant prioritisation, highlighting importance of functional studies to aid accurate interpretation. Superbly presented at this afternoon’s The North West Genomic Laboratory Hub Educational Seminar.

Genomic tests don't always find a diagnosis for rare disease patients, but what if we look again? Our paper in Genetics in Medicine describes a #bioinformatics tool that can help #NHS labs to reanalyse genomic variants using the dynamic None database 🧬: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Some thoughts on genomic medicine before Christmas 2022. TL;DR Genomic Medicine's near future is bright, in particular around rare disease and cancer roll out, both of which are established modalities in many healthcare systems in the world. More progress is to be expected.

👏🏼

Always a fantastic event for all - not to be missed!

❗️Reanalysis of arrayCGH datasets The North West Genomic Laboratory Hub uplifts genetic diagnoses❗️ We shortlisted CNVs from ~16,000 patients referred over a 7 year period. Of the shortlisted CNVs, 7.2% were reclassified as (likely)/pathogenic due to new evidence. George Burghel - جورج برغل Siddharth Banka medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
