Who-teachers-are-in-class
Teacher leaders take on both formal and informal roles to support school and student success by building the entire school's capacity for improvement. While almost anyone can become a teacher, it takes a special personality to be a great teacher who can inspire students and make a lasting impression through adaptability, encouragement, and rising above others. Great teachers demonstrate characteristics that students remember for years.
Teachers
A great teacher has several key qualities, including an engaging personality that holds students' attention, clear lesson objectives, and effective classroom management skills. They also communicate well with parents, have high expectations for students, and have in-depth knowledge of their subject matter and curriculum standards. Most importantly, a great teacher is passionate about teaching and developing strong relationships with their students.

For germline samples, it aims to increase diversity and develop samples with other available resources like cell lines. In the long term, it wants more complex samples like families of African ancestry. For tumor samples, it wants to develop 8 cancer cell lines from different tissues to study somatic variant measurement and analysis variability across sites.
Teaching is-an-essential-part-of-education
Teaching is an essential part of education, with its function being to impart knowledge, develop understanding, and teach skills. Teaching skills are defined as a group of teaching acts or behaviors intended to directly or indirectly facilitate student learning. Effective teaching requires skills to ensure competency, make classes interesting, develop teacher confidence, avoid confusion, and understand individual differences in learning. Teachers must regulate discussions, focus on topics, guide with questions, interpret contributions, and summarize points to effectively manage their class.

Aug2015 steve lincoln analytical validation
This document discusses challenges with using the Genome in a Bottle (GIAB) reference samples to validate next-generation sequencing (NGS) assays for clinical use. While GIAB provides coverage of 77% of the genome, it is missing 23% including parts of many commonly tested genes. It also has limited representation of more complex variants like insertions, deletions, and copy number variations. The actual reporting of variants is done at the transcript level rather than genome coordinates, and GIAB samples do not match real clinical samples. Overall, while GIAB provides a starting point for validation, online quality control and assurance play a larger role than validation in ensuring accurate clinical NGS testing.
Sept2016 sv nhgri_repeats
The document discusses how repeats affect the characterization of structural variants from long read assemblies aligned to the human reference genome. It describes using PacBio assemblies aligned with nucmer to refine variant regions and characterize structural variants. However, repeats can create ambiguities in determining variant breakpoints. When variants are flanked by repeats, the "correct" breakpoint can depend on the alignment algorithm or evidence from other platforms. Long reads help with continuity but may miss heterozygous variants. The document analyzes how often variants are confirmed in three trio members, with up to 27% confirmed depending on the variant type and assembler used. It provides examples of how repeats can affect the determination of deletions, insertions, inversions, and tandem
Jan2016 rm selection and design breakout summary

- Efforts are ongoing to expand the reference data to additional samples from different populations and integrate data from multiple sequencing technologies.
- The goal is to enable standardized evaluation, benchmarking and regulatory oversight of clinical genome sequencing.
Ascaris lumbricoides
Ascaris lumbricoides is a common roundworm parasite that infects an estimated 1 billion people worldwide (1 out of 4 people), being most prevalent in underdeveloped areas with poor sanitation. It is transmitted via ingestion of eggs from contaminated food or soil and causes symptoms ranging from abdominal discomfort to pulmonary issues during larval migration. Treatment involves anthelmintic drugs like mebendazole or albendazole and prevention focuses on improved sanitation and limiting the use of human feces as fertilizer.

ES7 - Components of Scientific Investigation.pdf
This document discusses the key components of scientific investigation: observations, formulation of problems, and variables. It explains that scientific investigations typically begin with observations using the five senses. Observations can be qualitative, involving description, or quantitative, involving exact measurements. Formulating problems involves asking questions based on observations of interest. When formulating problems, it is important to identify the independent variable being manipulated, the dependent variable being measured, and keep other variables constant. Several examples are provided to illustrate these concepts.
