2. What should GIAB do?
• Beyond support, improvement/development
and maintenance of existing in-process GIAB
products…
– What future work should GIAB do that would take
advantage of the momentum and unique
community we’ve built?
3. Here are some Roadmap Tracks
• Reference Materials
– Germline
– Somatic
• Informatics
– Analysis of GIAB data
– Benchmarking
• Documentary Standards/Publications
– Documentation of methods
– Supporting Use
4. Reference Materials
Germline
• Pilot RM
• PGP RMs
– AJ and Chinese Trios
– Other ancestries
• Do we need trios?
• Other large families?
• Sample panels
– Many samples with clinically
important mutations
– Pharmacogenomics
Somatic
• Interlaboratory study of
mixtures
• ctDNA/cfDNA/fetal DNA
• Whole cancer genomes
5. Informatics
Analysis Team
• SNP/indels
• SVs
• Phasing
• Assembly
• In depth analyses
– Characterize harder parts of
the genome
– Diploid de novo assemblies
– Assign confidence scores to
variants in RMs
Benchmarking
• Sophisticated/standardized
tools
• Graphical interface
• Stratification
6. Documentary Standards/Publications
Documentation of methods
• Integration methods
–published in 2014
• Analysis Team publications
Supporting use
• Best practices for using RMs
• Documentary standards
• Analytical validation
