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 open. Please refer to the course website http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/AAIRR16 for details. IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: Oct 12th 2016 Course dates: Nov 2nd - Nov 4th 2016 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.
