CAGI** Workshop
Boston, Massachusetts
Sep 29, 2023 through Oct 01, 2023

The CAGI** workshop will reflect on the accomplishments of the six rounds of the Critical Assessment of Genome Interpretation (CAGI) and seek to shape our vision for the future. The meeting will feature sessions related to the current state and the future of variant impact prediction and clinical genome interpretation. Clinical applications will include genetic diagnosis for Mendelian conditions, germline cancer risk ascertainment and somatic variation assessment, and polygenic score-based risk stratification for complex phenotypes. We will especially focus on the impact of emerging data resources and new methodologies, such as large language models. We aim to engage participants within and beyond the traditional CAGI community. Prior to the meeting, we will feature salons for visioning and proposing maverick ideas, for interested participants.
