Reminder
Dear GTPB subscriber
Please note that applications for the Bioinformatics training Course
GACT15 Genomic Architecture of Complex Traits are still possible. This
course has been advertised during the summer, and some of you may have
missed it.
http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/GACT15
with Arcadi Navarro, Juan A. Rodriguez and David Allen Hughes
IMPORTANT DATES for this Course
Deadline for applications: Sept 19th 2015 <-------------- Approaching
Latest notification of acceptance: Sept 20th 2015
Course date: Sept 28th - Oct 1st 2015
Candidates with adequate profile will be accepted in the next 72 hours
after the application until we reach 20 participants.
Overview
Genome-Phenome analysis is both a challenging biological problem and a
key component of precision medicine. This course aims to introduce
current methods and concepts used to link genomes and phenomes.
Emphasis will be placed on mapping disease susceptibility genes.
Course topics will be presented as lectures each followed by
illustrative practical sessions. Topics will cover technological and
design issues as well as current data analysis and interpretation
strategies.
A variety of approaches to Genome-Phenome analysis will be covered
ranging from array and targeted re-sequencing of (Epi-)Genome-Wide
Association Studies to full genome re-sequencing. The main focus of
this course will be on complex traits, however, the genetic
architectures of cancer and rare diseases will also be considered.
Methods:
The course is comprised of practical exercises preceded by short
lectures. There will be opportunities to hold group discussions on
specific case studies.
Target Audiences:
(1) Individuals with knowledge about bioinformatics and/or genomics,
that aim at using modern methods to address population variation or
genotype phenotype association studies.
(2) Individuals interested in some particular phenotype(s) (MDs,
veterinarians, biologists) and wishing to commence investigation of
the genetics of their trait(s) of interest.
(3) All individuals, graduate or professional, wishing to expand on
their working knowledge of the genetics of complex traits.
Pre-requisites:
In addition to a reasonable level of computer literacy, a minimal
familiarity with the basics of bioinformatics, statistics, genomics
and biology will be assumed.
An acquaintance with studies of population variation or genotype
phenotype association would be an advantage but not essential.
Course duration / fee: 4 days / Euro 360.00
Thank you for your interest in GTPB courses.
