The Beacon is a protocol for sharing information about the presence or absence of a specific mutation in a given dataset. The latest version (v2) of the Beacon also allows to: filter by variables or interest (e.g. gender or age), trigger the data access process, and consult clinical annotation about the variants found, among others.

At the end of this training session, participants will be familiarized with Beacon queries, using the UI as well as the API. This training session is part of the CINECA GA4GH Beacon series.

The Beacon v2 Reference Implementation (B2RI) is a free open source Linux-based software created by the Centre for Genomic Regulation (Barcelona, Spain) that allows lighting up a Beacon v2 out-of-the-box.In this training session, a B2RI developer will give an overview on how to use the software to “beaconize” your data (from the user’s perspective).

At the end of this training session, participants will be familiarized with the input and output requirements of the B2RI, as well as with the type of queries allowed. This training session is part of the CINECA GA4GH Beacon series.

At the end of the training session, participants should have the tools to get started with the implementation autonomously, and have identified the resource persons to answer their questions during the implementation process. This training session is part of the CINECA GA4GH Beacon series.

In this webinar, the Beacon team at CRG will introduce you to the Beacon v2, its features, address security considerations, and illustrate a few use cases. This webinar is part of the CINECA GA4GH Beacon series.
