We still have a few slots open for our 6th annual Mendelian Analysis Workshop.

If you want to learn how to use bioinformatic tools to analyze exome and whole genome sequence data for the diagnosis and study of rare genetic diseases, check out the schedule and share with anyone you think might be interested!

BACKGROUND

The University of Washington Center for Mendelian Genomics (UW-CMG) is offering a weeklong course on the analysis of next generation sequence data that will focus on strategies and tools for solving Mendelian disorders. The course is intended for data analysts/researchers who analyze next generation sequence data. Application available here: uwcmg.org/#analysisWorkshop

This is our 6th consecutive year running this workshop!

COURSE OUTLINE

The course will consist of lectures and hands-on exercises designed to help reinforce the lecture content.

Monday: IT infrastructure; pipeline overview, CMG data, VCF files and Unix basics
Tuesday: Sample/project level QC, study design & modes of analysis
Wednesday: Annotation, interpreting CNV results, introduction to Gemini, and analysis using Gemini for autosomal recessive and de novo models
Thursday: Analysis using Gemini for autosomal dominant models, candidate genes and variants, data sharing, and hands-on exercises
Friday: Team projects, presentations, wrap up, additional questions, and feedback

NOTE

Space is limited and applications will be accepted until all spaces are filled. The cost to attend the Workshop is $300 (US). Attendees are responsible for costs associated with attending the workshop (i.e., airfare, housing, and incidentals).
