Exploring common and rare disease genetics with GWAS and NGS
15 April 2016
For-profit: 0 CHF
No future instance of this course is planned yet
This course is co-organised by the CUSO/StarOmics doctoral program. Priority is given to its members, but is open to everyone.
Overview
Participants will learn about the genome-wide analysis of variation including GWAS, next generation sequencing (NGS) and how to identify and interpret variants in exomes. The course will also introduce techniques to extend GWAS using NGS data.
Furthermore, we strongly encourage you to attend the Symposium on Genomics that will take place just after the end of the course (28 April 2016) in Lausanne.
Learning objectives
After four days of lectures and practical exercises, participants should:
- have a clear understanding of genome variation
- be able to perform GWAS and exome analyses
- be able to apply these techniques in translational research.
Prerequisites
Knowledge / competencies: Participants should have a good understanding of command-line UNIX (UNIX Fundamentals self-learning module) in order to perform the practical exercises.
Technical: A WiFi-equipped laptop with 3-4GB of RAM, 60GB free hard-disk space and virtualbox installed. You will be given virtual machine images with all softwares and packages needed for this course.
Application
