The aim of this Summer School in Genomics is to cover state-of-the-art theory and practice of the approaches to the identification of the genetic bases of human diseases emphasizing the unique advantages of the Sardinian founder population.

The program consists of a series of lectures and practical sessions which are specific to the theme of the Summer School. The course is designed to encourage the maximum possible interaction among lecturers and students. The lectures are intended to give conceptual overviews of modern approaches to study genetic variation and to apply this information to different areas of research, in particular the detection of genetic variants associated with complex and monogenic traits. Special emphasis will be given to recent progress resulting from massive parallel sequencing strategies and their integration with microarrays data.
