[Bioscys-Africa] Wellcome Trust Advanced Courses - Application deadlines

[Wellcome Trust Advanced Courses]

Dear Colleague,

I would like to draw your attention to the following two courses whose
application deadlines will be closing on 14th December 2008.


Design and Analysis of Genetic-based Association Studies
31 March - 4 April
The residential workshop will aim to give researchers involved in
disease studies, a firm grounding in the use of the latest statistical
methods and software used in the analysis of genetic association
studies. The course will cover both theoretical and practical aspects of
the design and analysis of such studies. Each topic will include a
lecture followed by a practical session in which state-of-the-art
statistical software will be applied to relevant datasets. The practical
sessions will illustrate the ideas presented in the lectures. All the
software used will be freely available so skills learnt can be applied
to the datasets after the course. 
Topics covered:
Introduction to genetic association studies
Study design
Basic association analysis
Haplotype estimation
Haplotype analysis and fine mapping
Family-based association studies
Gene-gene interactions

Microarrays: Methods and Applications for Genome Analysis
6 -15 April
The course will provide a comprehensive overview and practical
experience of the production and uses of DNA microarrays for a broad
range of applications. While complete details of microarray fabrication
will be covered in theoretical sessions and demonstrations, the main
theme of the course will be the applications of DNA microarrays for
state-of-the-art transcriptome analysis as detailed below. 
Topics covered:
1, Expression analysis on whole genome oligonucleotide arrays.
2. MicroRNA Analysis
3. Array comparative genomics
4. DNA protein interactions of genomic microarrays
5. Bioinformatics and data mining
