[BBC] [Gtpb] ANNOUNCEMENT: GTPB Bioinformatics Training course AAIRR16 - Analysis of Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoires

[Pedro L. Fernandes]

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

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.
