“As the 20th anniversary of whole genome sequencing (WGS) via next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches, it seems appropriate to review the bioinformatics challenges addressed, and those that lie ahead, […] where the application of AI seems most relevant.” – Dr. Scott Kahn
Today, the frontier has shifted. The toughest problems in bioinformatics lie downstream—interpreting variants, integrating complex datasets, and extracting clinically meaningful insights. This is where artificial intelligence and genetic analysis software are opening new possibilities for discovery and advancing precision medicine.
To explore these breakthroughs, Compass Bioinformatics Scientific Advisor, Dr. Scott Kahn, will lead a live webinar titled:
“Variant Analysis and AI for Discovery”
- Date: Friday, August 22, 2025
- Time: 3pm EST | 2pm CST | 1pm MST | 12pm PST
