This article shares tips for trainees attending a conference for the first time. It highlights my commitment to advising and mentorship. I wrote the original draft for two of the rules: Rule 7 and Rule 8.

Prior to this work, existing clinical copy number variant detection software were less than ideal because of long runtimes on large data. This software is currently being used in a Molecular Diagnostics Lab at the University of Minnesota. Acceptance Rate: 27% 4.

This article describes how to build a cloud-based clinical pipeline on a shared resource such as the High-Performance Computing cluster at the University of Minnesota. I built the proof- of-concept pipeline and did initial testing. It covers technical aspects not covered in my 2014 paper in BMC Res Notes.

This article describes the implementation of a genetic testing essay and our experience of using this essay in the clinic for 5 years. Two types of genomic changes are analyzed: mutations (changes at a single genomic position) and small deletions and duplications (CNV). I developed and implemented the method being used for CNV detection implemented in Hadoop-CNV-RF.
