Four members of EquiSeq’s Scientific Advisory Board met on June 2 to get acquainted and to discuss ongoing research projects. Science team members Jeremy Edwards (University of New Mexico), Jesse Young (TriCore Reference Laboratories), David Nannemann (Rosetta Design Group), and Paul Szauter (EquiSeq) attended.

Jeremy Edwards will lead the effort to screen whole genome sequence data for potentially damaging variants using an extensive gene list developed by Paul Szauter. David Nannemann will assess the effects of current and future variants on protein structure. Jesse Young will explore the possibility of adding ancestry testing to EquiSeq’s offerings.

The meeting marked the first time that some members of the Scientific Advisory Board had met each other. They agreed to continue to meet in person from time to time to supplement email and Zoom meetings.
