WEBINAR: MaveDB: discovery and interpretation of high-throughput functional assay data
Date: 26 March 2024 @ 13:00 - 14:00
Timezone: Melbourne
Duration: 1 hour
Multiplexed assays of variant effect (MAVEs) are a family of experimental techniques that measure all single amino acid or single nucleotide changes in a gene or other functional element. MaveDB is an international community database that enables discovery and reuse of data from these experiments. It provides a platform for integrating large-scale measurements of sequence variant impact with applications that can be used to interpret the data for basic and clinical research.
In this webinar we consider:
- What are MAVEs and how are the experiments performed?
- How much MAVE data is available in MaveDB and how is it organised?
- Who can submit datasets to MaveDB?
- What are some of the clinical applications for MAVEs and how is the data being used to understand patient variants?
Speaker: Dr Alan Rubin, Senior Research Officer, WEHI
