Participating at #BioHackEU23 in Barcelona with a CNV reference resource project
With other members of the hCNV community some of us will participate at this year's
Biohackathon Europe event. The main project will address the creation of the template
for a "beaconized" public resource for reference (i.e. not disease associated)
copy number variation data, including the necessary tooling for the import from
e.g. VCF or BED file variants into Beacon backends (such as our bycon
environment).
