DNAnexus and QIAGEN Team Up in Education Webinar: Scaling End-to-End NGS Solutions for Clinical Diagnostics in the Cloud

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has become an essential tool in clinical diagnostic laboratories. However, this technology introduces many well-described challenges around data processing, storage and analysis. Viapath is based at Guy's Hospital London, which leads the South London NHS Genomic Medicine Centre. The Viapath Genetics Laboratories have implemented automated, scalable, and cost-effective clinical bioinformatics pipelines in the cloud.

The DNAnexus Platform is used to run clinical-grade workflows in line with AMP and CAP consensus recommendations for NGS bioinformatics pipelines. Viapath leverages DNAnexus to analyze exomes for pediatric developmental disorders and an amplicon panel for assessing EGFR in lung cancer, all of which are ISO15189-accredited.

These automated and scalable workflows perform secondary bioinformatics analysis, generating a variant call file (VCF) which is then passed directly into QIAGEN Ingenuity Variant Analysis (IVA) for genomic interpretation. IVA takes advantage of the Qiagen Knowledge Base to enable systematic filtering, prioritization, and analysis of variants, including automated ACMG classification.

The DNAnexus Platform is also used to manage data, which is archived for long-term storage using Amazon Glacier; this provides a low-cost and resilient solution.

In this webinar, participants will learn about the advantages of the DNAnexus and IVA platforms, as well as how to develop processes for building DNAnexus apps and workflows. They will learn best practices for automating pipelines from sequencer to analysis and hear how to interpret exome variants. Read all the latest news.

The team from Viapath's Genetics Laboratory will be the speakers for this event, including Joo Wook Ahn (Genome Informatics Lead), Andrew Bond (Clinical Bioinformatician) and Mattias Jansson (Clinical Scientist). Dr. Alessandro Riccombeni, European Science Lead at DNAnexus will moderate the webinar.

LabRoots will host this webinar September 18, 2018, beginning at 7 a.m. PDT, 2 p.m. GMT. To learn more about this event, discover the continuing education credits offered, or to register for free, click here.

Woolpert Providing Structural Engineering for Miami University Residence Halls

Woolpert is providing structural engineering services for the renovation of three Miami University residence halls as part of the public university's long-term goal to provide the best undergraduate experience in the nation. Read related news now.

Woolpert was contracted by GBBN Architects, who was hired by Messer Construction, to improve site work, architectural finishes and details, life safety features, better access and functionality and energy-efficient mechanical systems to Scott, Minnich and Stanton halls. These updates are part of the Miami University 2020 Plan, unveiled in 2012, which outlines enhancements throughout the university from academics to culture to infrastructure.

Scott Hall and Minnich Hall, which are on university's Central Quad, began the renovation process in 2016 and reopened for students this month. Schematic design for the renovations at Stanton Hall, on the South Quad, are in progress, and that residence hall is scheduled to be completed in 2020. These renovation projects are valued at a combined $50 million and will be completed using design-build project delivery.

"The work GBBN and Messer are doing to these buildings with Woolpert is focused on preserving the Neo-Georgian architecture of the campus, but it is also helping to keep the university competitive," GBBN Senior Associate Andrew Plogsted said. "Students today have much higher expectations of their living spaces than in the past, and these renovations give them just that."

Woolpert Structural Engineering Manager Frank Monastra said ensuring Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance and updating architectural and mechanical systems at each building to meet a consistent design standard have been key aspects of these projects.

"For Scott and Minnich, we cut holes in the floor to provide a new elevator shaft, added new areaways for louvers, support frames for mechanical units in attic, new ADA ramps and converted a crawl space into a full height basement space for storage and mechanical systems," Monastra said. "These residence halls were built at varying times over the years, yet maintained similar structural frame systems. The university is investing in its vibrant learning environment by comprehensively integrating contemporary amenities, while maintaining the coherent, iconic look that defines the beautiful, historic campus."

Woolpert has worked with Miami University since 2001, supplying civil engineering and landscape architecture services for a variety of projects. The international architecture, engineering and geospatial firm also has performed similar renovations at campuses across the country. Read related news here.

"Our experience has taught us how to adapt our structural design intent to actual conditions discovered in the field," Monastra said. "With historic structures especially, you don't really know what's in there until you begin demolition. We frequently encounter obstacles in the field that were not noted on existing drawings and required us to revise our design with innovative solutions that are constructible and within budget. Being flexible and surrounded by a great design-build team allows us to get better with every project."
