Date: 4 - 5 December 2017

This course is aimed at clinicians and wet-lab biologists who are involved in research projects requiring the analysis of exome data, interpretation of sequence variation identified during genomic analyses, and preparing accurate sequence variation descriptions for publication, clinical reporting and data basing. Attendees will receive an introduction to calling variants and copy number alterations from exome sequencing data alignment files, reference sequences, variation nomenclature, variant annotation, variant effect prediction, and clinical and publication reporting recommendations.

This course serves as the second in a two-part workshop. The first part, an Introduction to DNA-seq, will be held in November 2017. While attendance of the November workshop is not a pre-requisite, familiarity with the topics it covers will be necessary.
