American Sociaty for Human Genetics (ASHG) 2016 featured many interesting talks as well as great poster presentations. As every year, after all. We presented a poster on the Beacon Network on Friday, October 22, as part of the 2pm block. The poster attracted quite a few people, many of whom knew of the project and came to the session prepared, with specific questions on their mind. If you couldn’t be there, check out the poster here:
Feel free to take a look at the abstract, download the PDF, or check out the sources in LaTeX.
The Beacon Network is actually tied to at least 5 other abstracts from the conference, all of which were created by people involved in the Beacon Project and organizations participating in the Beacon Network:
