Data Manipulation and Visualisation with Python 10-14 July 2017 & GATK Best Practices for Variant Discovery 17-19 July 2017 - Few places left
by Bert Overduin 16 Jun '17

16 Jun '17

Dear all, We have very few places left on the following workshops (first come, first served). With kind regards, Bert ************************* DATA MANIPULATION AND VISUALISATION WITH PYTHON One of the strengths of the Python language is the availability of mature, high-quality libraries for working with scientific data. Integration between the most popular libraries has lead to the concept of a "scientific Python stack": a collection of packages which are designed to work well together. In this workshop we will see how to leverage these libraries to efficiently work with and visualise large volumes of data. DATE: Monday 10 – Friday 14 July 2017 VENUE: The King's Buildings, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Monday 26 June 2017 noon CANCELLATION DEADLINE: Monday 3 July 2017 noon PLACES: 20 (first come, first served) REGISTRATION FEE: £525 (includes coffee/tea, but no lunch) INFORMATION: Bert Overduin (bert.overduin(a)ed.ac.uk) Martin Jones ( martin(a)pythonforbiologists.com) FOR MORE DETAILS AND TO REGISTER: http://genomics.ed.ac.uk/servi ces/data-manipulation-and-visualisation-python ************************* GATK BEST PRACTICES FOR VARIANT DISCOVERY This workshop will focus on the core steps involved in calling variants with the Broad’s Genome Analysis Toolkit, using the “Best Practices” developed by the GATK team. You will learn why each step is essential to the variant discovery process, what are the operations performed on the data at each step, and how to use the GATK tools to get the most accurate and reliable results out of your dataset. In the course of this workshop, we highlight key functionalities such as the GVCF workflow for joint variant discovery in cohorts, RNAseq-specific processing, and somatic variant discovery using MuTect2. We also preview capabilities of the upcoming GATK version 4, including a new workflow for CNV discovery, and we demonstrate the use of pipelining tools to assemble and execute GATK workflows. DATE: Monday 17 - Wednesday 19 July 2017 VENUE: The King's Buildings,The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Monday 3 July 2017 CANCELLATION DEADLINE: Monday 10 July 2017 PLACES: 85 (lectures), 30 (hands-on sessions) (first come, first served) REGISTRATION FEE: £70 for the lectures, £35 for each half-day hands-on session (includes coffee/tea, but no lunch) INFORMATION: Bert Overduin (bert.overduin(a)ed.ac.uk) FOR MORE DETAILS AND TO REGISTER: http://genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/gatk-best-practices-variant-discovery ************************ -- Bert Overduin, PhD TRAINING AND OUTREACH BIOINFORMATICIAN Bert.Overduin(a)ed.ac.uk orcid.org/0000-0002-5281-8838 EDINBURGH GENOMICS The University of Edinburgh Ashworth Laboratories The King's Buildings Charlotte Auerbach Road Edinburgh EH9 3FL Scotland, United Kingdom tel. +44(0)1316507403 http://genomics.ed.ac.uk The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
