UPDATE: The list of speakers has been revised to include Dr David Langlais instead of Dr Philippe Gros. (12 February 2015)

TRAINING COURSE

The 3-day course will provide a practical introduction to analysis of next generation sequencing data, including handling of raw data as well as their application to the study of human diseases. This year, we have placed special emphasis on the analysis of complex traits using NGS data (e.g. whole genomeexome, epigenome and target sequencing of the HLA loci) in addition to the technical challenges of analysis such as data manipulation and variant annotation.

SYMPOSIUM

The course will be followed by a 2-day symposium with invited international speakers to provide perspectives on recent advances in medical genomics. The symposium will be open to the course attendees and others from the scientific community. Admission to the symposium is free of charge, but advance registration is recommended.
