[BBC] Gauging interest for a GATK workshop in Edinburgh on 14-15 April 2016

[Bert Overduin]

Dear all,

After last year's successful Edinburgh Genomics workshop on GATK (
https://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/), I am happy to announce that the GATK
team has agreed to teach again in Edinburgh! To gauge if there is enough
interest to have them come over all the way from Boston, I have set up a
short survey, which can be found at:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/J7NH3V5

Note that the workshop will be most likely on Thursday 14 and Friday 15
April 2016. Cost (including lunch and refreshments) will probably be around
£50/day.

Also note that there are plans to give a similar workshop on Monday 18 and
Tuesday 19 April in Oxford.

*Important (especially for people who did attend the 2015 workshop!):*

Before filling in the survey, please have a look at the information below
from the GATK team:

"The main topics of the workshop are still much the same (Best Practices
for variant discovery), but we've expanded the parts that cover pipeline
implementations and quality control, and we're adding new materials on
somatic variant calling (SNPs, indels and CNVs). I'd guesstimate that
there's about 25% new content in the talks part.

We've also completely overhauled and expanded our hands-on tutorials
portfolio (basics of variant discovery + advanced filtering and
evaluation), and in the near future we'll be adding a module on developing
pipelines with a new workflow scripting and execution system that is a lot
more accessible than Queue."

With kind regards,
Bert
