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:

  1. What are MAVEs and how are the experiments performed?
  2. How much MAVE data is available in MaveDB and how is it organised?
  3. Who can submit datasets to MaveDB?
  4. 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
