Dear all, We still have places available for the first day of our GATK Best Practices for Variant Discovery workshop (the lectures part). This workshop will focus on the core steps involved in calling variants with the Broad Institute’s Genome Analysis Toolkit ( https://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/), which is one of the most, if not the most, commonly used tool for variant calling. We are very lucky to have this workshop delivered by three members of the GATK team, which means you will receive training by the most expert instructors imaginable. As they have to come all the way from the United States, we cannot promise we will organise this workshop again soon, so if you're interested in variant calling / GATK, this really is an opportunity not to be missed! The workshop will be as interactive as possible, and offer plenty of opportunity for questions and answers. For more information and to register, please visit https://genomics.ed.ac.uk/gatk-best-practices-variant- <https://genomics.ed.ac.uk/gatk-best-practices-variant-discovery>discovery <https://genomics.ed.ac.uk/gatk-best-practices-variant-discovery>. Note that the second day of the workshop (the hands-on part) is currently fully booked, but it is still possible to be placed on the waiting list, in case any places become available closer to the workshop date. Please feel free to forward this mail to anyone else potentially interested and/or to print out the attached flyer for further distribution. Hope to see many of you in April!
