Dear all, I am very happy to announce that, after the success of the GATK workshop last year, Edinburgh Genomics again has been able to get a 3-person-strong team from the Broad Institute in Boston over to Edinburgh to deliver a two-day workshop on 14 and 15 April 2016. This workshop will focus on the core steps involved in calling variants with the Broad’s Genome Analysis Toolkit ( https://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/), using the “Best Practices” developed by the GATK team. The workshop is composed of one day of lectures (including many opportunities for Q&A) and one optional day of hands-on training. 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 for the hands-on part places are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis. Also note that a similar workshop will be given on Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 April 2016 at the University of Oxford. For more information about this, please contact David Sims (david.sims@dpag.ox.ac.uk). 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!
