  1. Understanding the causes of disease & Covid 19 – connecting molecular science with health records • Chairs: • John Danesh, University of Cambridge • Adam Butterworth, University of Cambridge • Panellists: • Ewan Harrison, University of Cambridge • Mark Caulfield, Queen Mary University of London • Aroon Hingorani, UCL • Emily Jefferson, University of Dundee This session will start at 11:45 BST. Please use the Q&A function to ask questions to speakers. You are welcome to comment using the chat function, but we cannot guarantee this will be monitored.

  2. Understanding Causes of Diseases: Linking molecular science to e-Health Records at scale • Multi-omics Cohorts Consortium • Microbial carriage Multi-omics cohorts Integrative analyses • Building Empowering Polygenic Score Catalog tools & genomic • Addressing ethnic • ‘Gut Reaction’ Health resources medicine bias in genomic medicine Data Research Hub • Genomic medicine for rare diseases

  7. COG-UK - Analytical focus • Introductions and spread • Nosocomial transmission • Tracking variation – diagnostics primer binding sites • Treatments and vaccines – following the emergence of drug resistance and variation in vaccine antigens • Transmission tracking – effects of interventions, outbreaks, contact tracing • Evolutionary analysis • Tracking emergence of viral variants

  8. Ongoing analysis • Determined numbers of introductions and likely source • Emergence of three dominant lineages UK5, UK16 and UK17. • Estimation of R in London • Hospital and care home transmissions • Screening of diagnostic primers Andrew Rambaut • Effect of D614G spike proteins Oliver Pybus mutation Nick Loman Tom Connor Richard Myers David Aanensen Erik Volz
