Join us for a “power hour” Basic and Advanced workshop series at this year’s ASHI Meeting in Savannah. The Omixon Academy Training Series is ABHI approved and Certificate of Attendance will be available for attendees that stay for the duration of the event (1hr is 0.15CECs).

Date   Monday, 28 September (Opening day)
Room Gwinnett Boardroom, Savannah International Trade & Convention Center
Time   Select 60min slots between 10am – 12:30pm EDT

The “Introduction to HLA Twin 1.1” workshop is designed for anyone that is new to Holotype HLA and using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to assign HLA typings. The workshop will begin with a short presentation going over the technology, followed by a hands-on exercise with Omixon’s dual-algorithm software, HLA Twin. Participants will learn how to initiate an analysis, interpret data, and generate a report using HLA Twin.

ADVANCED
Event  Identification of Reference Mistypings with Holotype HLA
Date   Monday, 28 September (Opening day)
Room Gwinnett Boardroom, Savannah International Trade & Convention Center
Time   Select 60min slots between 1pm – 3:30pm EDT

The “Identification of Reference Mistypings with Holotype HLA” workshop is designed for those already familiar with Holotype HLA. In our experience, labs are most interested when Holotype HLA results are discordant with their previously known typings by other methods such as SSO/SSP/SBT! In this workshop, we describe new features in Twin 1.1 and walk through a few examples where existing typings are demonstrated to be incorrect when more complete NGS data from Holotype HLA is available.
