Exploring Human Genetic Variation 2018

Exploring Human Genetic Variation is organized by European Molecular Biology Laboratory - European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL - EBI) and will be held during Jul 10 - 11, 2018 at EMBL-EBI European Bioinformatics Institute Main Building, Cambridge, England, United Kingdom.

Target Audience:
No prior experience of bioinformatics is required, but an interest in finding out more about variation resources and an undergraduate level understanding of biology would be of benefit. This workshop will focus specifically on human variation.

Course Overview:
Do you want to understand more about genetic variation? Are you aware of the resources available for finding, viewing and exploring variant data? Are you trying to link variant data to phenotypes?

We present a 2-day workshop to introduce you to data resources and tools developed by EMBL-EBI and the Sanger Institute that can help you better understand genetic variation. Each day will focus on a particular topic, with the aim of helping you get more from your data and also to explore publicly-available data that can further support your research.

Course Outcomes:
At the end of these workshops you should be able to:
• Access and explore a range of appropriate variation resources
• Use these resources to retrieve relevant variant information
• Apply the information you have discovered in your research

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
