I use the audience response system Wooclap - but there are other similar Apps available, e.g., from Kahoot, Mentimeter and TurningPoint.

At NMS we are mindful of the "Mayer principles" for designing online lessons (1).

We also peer review our online modules and lessons and have designed some peer observation tools and checklists to document this (2).

In 2022, the NHS genomics Education Programme launched the GeNotes project

with the publication of free, open access educational resources. The project outputs complement the AoMRC syllabus and topics align and will grow with the NHS genomics test directory.

Whole Genome Sequencing & Neurodevelopmental Disorders

The 100K project led by Genomics England and whole genome sequencing is already making a big impact, e.g., by

ending diagnostic odysseys for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) and identifying important mutational mechanisms. A recent finding is that mutations in RNU4-2, encoding a small nuclear RNA (a critical component of the spliceosome) are among the most frequent genetic causes of NDD, explaining up to 0.4% of all cases.
