Apply now for the : NBIC advanced NGS course on Genomic Resequencing: "Variant Detection and Interpretation in a Diagnostic Context" Course coordinators: Christian Gilissen (UMCN), Terry Vrijenhoek (UMCU) & Jasper Saris (EMC) Date: May 27th - 29th, 2013 Location: Erasmus Medical Centre (EMC), Rotterdam, the Netherlands course-website: http://www.nbic.nl/education/nbic-phd-school/course-schedule/ngsresequencing... Registration: http://www.nbic.nl/education/nbic-phd-school/enrolment/ Contact for information: Patrick Koks (education@NBIC.nl) description: The NBIC advanced NGS course "Genomic Resequencing" focuses on the application of exome or whole genome sequencing as a research and diagnostic tool for the detection of mutations and variants with a clinical relevance. This is a three-day course with a 'shifting focus' from the bioinformaticians' and molecular geneticists' practice on day 1 to the daily routine of the clinical geneticist on day 3. We will cover sample preparation methods and updates in sequencing techniques, data analysis steps from quality control and mapping till variant calling and annotation. Furthermore we will zoom in on the clinical relevance of NGS results, application in the clinic, legal issues, etc. On day 1 & 2 the afternoons are devoted to (hands-on) workshops in analysing NGS data and on day 3 we will have a panel discussion on the impact of NGS on research, diagnostics and clinical practice as it is now. confirmed teachers: Johan den Dunnen (Leiden UMC) Robert Hofstra (Erasmus MC) Victor Guryev (UMC Groningen) Helger Yntema (UMC St. Radboud) Laurent Francioli (UMC Groningen) Helger Yntema (UMC St. Radboud) Lisenka Vissers (UMC St. Radboud) Frank Baas (AMC) Ewart de Bruijn (Hubrecht) Chris Mattocks (Salisbury) Julien Tarabeux (Institut Curie) a.o. This course is part of the Education Programme of the NBIC PhD School. The PhD School is an initiative of NBIC together with a number of universities to organise high level education and training for PhD-students in bioinformatics and life sciences. All NBIC courses are co-developed and co-organised by experts in the field and in close collaboration with leading research groups throughout the Netherlands. All NBIC courses are taught in English and are open to PhD students and researchers worldwide.
