[BBC] Data Manipulation and Visualisation with Python 10-14 July 2017 & GATK Best Practices for Variant Discovery 17-19 July 2017 - Few places left

[Bert Overduin]

Dear all,

We have very few places left on the following workshops (first come, first
served).

With kind regards,
Bert

DATA MANIPULATION AND VISUALISATION WITH PYTHON

One of the strengths of the Python language is the availability of mature,
high-quality libraries for working with scientific data. Integration
between the most popular libraries has lead to the concept of a "scientific
Python stack": a collection of packages which are designed to work well
together. In this workshop we will see how to leverage these libraries to
efficiently work with and visualise large volumes of data.

GATK BEST PRACTICES FOR VARIANT DISCOVERY

This workshop will focus on the core steps involved in calling variants
with the Broad’s Genome Analysis Toolkit, using the “Best Practices”
developed by the GATK team. You will learn why each step is essential to
the variant discovery process, what are the operations performed on the
data at each step, and how to use the GATK tools to get the most accurate
and reliable results out of your dataset. In the course of this workshop,
we highlight key functionalities such as the GVCF workflow for joint
variant discovery in cohorts, RNAseq-specific processing, and somatic
variant discovery using MuTect2. We also preview capabilities of the
upcoming GATK version 4, including a new workflow for CNV discovery, and we
demonstrate the use of pipelining tools to assemble and execute GATK
workflows.

DATE: Monday 17 - Wednesday 19 July 2017
VENUE: The King's Buildings,The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh,
Scotland, UK
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Monday 3 July 2017
CANCELLATION DEADLINE: Monday 10 July 2017
PLACES: 85 (lectures), 30 (hands-on sessions) (first come, first served)
REGISTRATION FEE: £70 for the lectures, £35 for each half-day hands-on
session (includes coffee/tea, but no lunch)
