This workshop will feature topics including:

• Loading your own data and integrating them with Browser-resident data
• Prediction of the biochemical results of variants
• Viewing the genome in exon-only mode
• Pathways
• Precomputed CRISPR probes
• Using a large database of known variants
• Saving and sharing Browser sessions
• Exporting high-resolution images
