The Gulbenkian Training Programme in Bioinformatics Applications for the bioinformatics training course AAIRR16 Analysis of Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoires with Simon Frost (U. Cambridge) are now open. IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: Oct 12th 2016 Course dates: Nov 2nd - Nov 4th 2016 http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/AAIRR16/ Course Description This course will cover the analysis of B and T cell repertoires (adaptive immune receptor repertoires, or AIRR) from high-throughput sequencing data using bioinformatics workflows. Topics include germline allele assignment, identification of clones, and visualisation/analysis of clonal frequencies. The course will also cover emerging standards (VDJML, Change-O) in the analysis and reporting of Adaptive-immune Receptor Repertoire (AIRR) data. In addition to an introduction to software used, such as IgBLAST, pRESTO, Change-O, etc., the course will also provide an introduction to the use of Jupyter notebooks for conducting exploratory analyses and the Common Workflow Language to automate analyses. To get a flavour of the techniques and software that will be used in the course. IgBLAST pRESTO Change-O Discussion site: B-T.CR Target audience The course was designed for experimentalist and students who want to explore adaptive immune repertoires using NGS data. Individuals that are working - or looking forward to work - in the area of T cell or B cell receptor analysis will benefit from attending this training course. At the moment, GTPB has 5 training courses OPEN for applications.
