“Solving complex problems needs a community,” said the UW’s Andrew Stergachis, M.D., Ph.D., a member of the Brotman Baty Institute. “One lab could not have accomplished what we did. This highlights the wonderful, collaborative work that was enabled by the first UW Genome Sciences hackathon.”
That “wonderful, collaborative” work in September 2022 led to “fibertools,” a “state-of-the-art” toolkit enabling faster and more accurate understanding of how genetic variation impacts human health and disease using long-read sequencing.
