We are also holding a hackathon that will be focused on analysis of genomic HLA and KIR sequences.
- The hackathon will take place online, using GitHub, teleconferencing and slack.
- These are all-day events running from 9am to 5pm US Central Time
The focus of this hackathon will be analysis of genomic HLA and KIR sequences. We have recently redesigned the Gene Feature Enumeration DataBase (GFEDB) to store annotations for any allele. The graph representation allows this variation to be queried in a way that is flax and flexible. Note: data from typing platforms that generate ambiguous consensus blocks, for example exon targeted short read sequencing, may not be suitable for this hackathon.
Three main activities (something for everyone:
- development of annotation tools (service-feature, act-service, gfe-db, seq-ann, py-gfe, py-ard, imgt_biosqldb, act-client, gfe-service)
- development of query and analysis tools
- data loading
- bring-your-own data
- submit data from public sources (genbank, SRA, IHIW, 1000 genomes, genome-in-a-bottle, etc.)
