The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is offering two exciting new Short Courses!
High throughput sequencing in disease studies - 12th - 15th September 2011 - http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/prospectus/short/genepi_sequencing.html
Rapidly developing technologies now allow genomes to be sequenced more quickly and cheaply than ever before. This course will cover state of the art methods and applications of next generation sequencing. The course is organised in two 2-day modules. In the first module, participants will be introduced to tools for analysing high throughput sequence data, including methods for measuring copy number variants and allele-specific expression, and conducting disease association analysis with sequence data. The second module focuses on applications in pathogen genomics, including sequencing of pathogen genomes, evolutionary analysis and transcriptomics by RNA-seq. In both modules there will be considerable opportunities to gain practical experience with new data types such as whole genome sequence and ChIP-seq data. By the end of the course participants will have a broad knowledge of the state of the art and will be well equipped to analyse their own data.
AND
Introduction to Genetic Epidemiology in the GWAS era - 6th - 9th September 2011 - http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/prospectus/short/genepi_gwas.html
Genetic epidemiology holds great potential for personalised medicine and improved biological knowledge of disease processes. This course provides an introduction to the design, analysis and interpretation of genetic studies of disease, with a focus on state of the art analysis of genomewide association scans. The course consists of two 2-day modules. In the first module, basic genetics will be introduced and relevant statistical methods for linkage and association analysis will be described. The second module covers the design and analysis of genomewide association scans, including emerging applications to risk prediction and biological pathway analysis. Throughout the course participants will gain practical experience of analysing genetic data in population and family studies. By the end of the course participants will have an understanding of the fundamental concepts of genetic epidemiology, will have a working knowledge of the terminology and current status of the field, and will be able to perform many basic analyses of genetic data.
