## **New Variant Types Supported**

### **STR**

You can now interpret STRs on Emedgene, including proprietary annotation and visualization.

STRs are available for customers starting from FASTQ. Calling is performed using ExpansionHunter, for which recent specificity/sensitivity data can be found in this [Lancet Neurology](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4422\(21\)00462-2/fulltext#%20) publication. Annotation sources include gnomAD and a unique 1K genomes dataset.

This release also includes an easy way to visualize population data as well as the pathogenicity associated with the number of repeats for the variant you are viewing.

### **SV Deletion and Duplications**

Support for SV deletions and duplications for customers starting from FASTQ is now available in all regions. Calling will be performed with the DRAGEN SV caller, and all the interpretation features available for CNVs are applied to SVs, including our time-saving automated ACMG-ClinGen classification.

## **Gene Curations**

Emedgene Curate now supports genes, enabling you to save and view gene interpretations and preferred transcripts.

## **Private Networking**

You can now create private networks and share curated data between organizations in Emedgene Curate. This is in addition to the private networking feature available in emedgene Analyze and enables sharing and transfer of curated data between trusted organizations.

## **Additional new features**

* Increased automated ACMG classification accuracy
* In the analysis tools table, you can hover on disease to see all related diseases
* View allele frequency full decimal number
* Support for ICA2 storage

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.bioinsight.illumina.com/emedgene/release-notes/workbench-and-pipeline-updates/more-release-notes/new_in_emedgene_228_-may_1_2022.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
