Human Genome Analysis: Genetic Analysis Miscellaneous


This intensive, residential, computational course is aimed at scientists actively involved in genetic analysis of multifactorial traits.


The course provides a comprehensive overview of the statistical methods currently used to map disease susceptibility genes in human populationsDiscussions of the latest statistical methodology are complemented by practical hands-on computer exercises using state-of-the-art softwareThe statistical basics behind each method will be carefully explained so that participants with a non-statistical background can understandIn addition to discussing analysis methods applicable to samples of unrelated individuals, we also will discuss methods that can analyse family data or a combination of families and individuals

This is a small residential course, with a low student:instructor ratio, personalized attention, and instructors involved and present throughoutEach student will receive a certificate of course completion at the end of the course

The programme will discuss fundamental issues needed to increase success in gene mapping studies including:
- Optimal study design
- Power to detect linkage and association
- Determining the most appropriate statistical methods and software
- Quality control strategies
- Interpretation of statistical results and trouble shooting
- Basic principles of statistical inference
- Hypothesis testing
- Population and quantitative genetics
- Mendelian inheritance

Our interactive and intensive educational program will enable researchers to better carry out sophisticated statistical analyses of genetic data, and will also improve their interpretation and understanding of the resultsThe concepts and methodological approaches covered are equally applicable to genotype data generated from traditional genotyping technologies and to data generated through next generation sequencing endeavoursNote the focus of the course is on the downstream analysis of called variants

Limited bursaries available
