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."
