QIAGEN’s Ingenuity Variant Analysis (IVA) combines analytical tools and integrated content to help you rapidly identify and prioritize variants by drilling down to a small, targeted subset of compelling variants based on published biological evidence and your knowledge of disease biology. IVA allows you to interrogate variants from multiple biological perspectives, explore different biological hypotheses, and identify the most promising variants for follow-up. This workshop will focus on how to use IVA to upload datasets, efficiently use different filters within variant analysis to identify causal variants, and export data. The class will also review recent IVA updates.

The Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD) database provides quick access to known published gene lesions responsible for human inherited disease. This session will explore how to query genes and mutations in HGMD and how to view the curated content.

MacVector is a powerful but easy to use Macintosh application that lets you document, analyze and manipulate DNA and Protein sequences. A simple graphical interface lets you generate beautiful plasmid maps, design primers, assemble ABI and NGS sequences, perform local and internet database searches based on sequence similarity or keyword, align sequences using a wide variety of options, replicate cloning experiments with restriction enzymes, Gateway or Gibson assembly approaches and much, much more. This presentation will introduce new users to the capabilities of MacVector while allowing existing users the opportunity to learn about the new functionality in MacVector 17.5 and our upcoming 18.0 release. In addition, we will walk though a number of common workflows where you are sure to learn a variety of tips and tricks to speed up and simplify working with sequence data.
