New Research Portal and Research Registry
We are aiming to launch a brand-new online portal and research registry in March/April 2020. The Research Portal will enable you to log on and view your membership of GeCIP domains, track your applications to new domains, update your personal information and contact domain leads. We are aware that for many the GeCIP application process has been somewhat opaque, leaving you unaware of how far along you are in the process, why it is taking so long or if you need to do something. We are pleased to say that this new system will solve these problems, and help researchers gain access to the data more quickly. The portal will also act as a central hub for GeCIP members to access important resources such as links to our Research Environment user guide, your Information Governance training, the Research Environment and the new Research Registry.

Since our last newsletter in November, we have been informed of 19 new publications based on the 100,000 Genomes Project. These include submissions from Siddharth Banka's group on variants in KMT2D as well as the co-lead of the Ethics and Social Science domain, Anneke Lucassen, exploring the consent of the 100,000 Genomes Project.This takes the total number of 100,000 Genomes Project publications we have been informed about up to 92!You can find all of these publications on the publications page of our website. If you are working on a publication on the data of the 100,000 Genomes Project, please get in touch with the GeCIP team so we can add this to our records. It is essential for the funders, thanks to whom the Research Environment is free to access, that publications and any research outputs from the 100,000 Genomes Project are tracked. We will also publicise it on the Genomics England website and may even tweet about it. These publications are the main way participants see and understand the research being done on their genomes, so we owe it to them to make these publications as visible as possible.

Genomics England and the British Society for Genetic Medicine, in association with the Scottish Genomes Partnership, are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the “Genomic Medicine - Moving Beyond the Sequence” meeting. Register now at: https://gm-beyond-the-sequence.eventbritestudio.com, where further details of the meeting are available.In tandem with the main meeting, we are also hosting two satellite workshops: "Genetics, Genomics and the Law" (June 29th) which addresses topical areas of overlap between genetics and the law including the current ABC case; and "Genomic Medicine - Health Economics" (July 1st), which will address the affordability and benefits of genome-based analysis and testing. Registration for the two satellites is also open via the above web page.Thanks to sponsorship by Genomics England, BSGM, SGP and other sponsors, we have been able to keep registration fees low: £20 for the main meeting and £10 for each of the two satellites. We hope you will be able to join us for this summer visit to Edinburgh!
