COURSES@CRG: Computational Analysis of Exome-Sequencing Data for Clinical Applications

CRG, Barcelona

Organizers:

Stephan Ossowski (CRG, Barcelona)
Elias Bechara (CRG, Barcelona)

Main Goals:

The goal of this course is to provide medical doctors and clinical researchers with basic training in the analysis of Next Generation Sequencing data, with a focus on Exome-sequencing analysis for clinical applications.

The course will give an overview on the Exome-seq method and widely used computational analysis tools. We will discuss practical examples of Exome-seq application for identification of causal variants and genes in Mendelian diseases as well as identification of driver genes in cancer patients. Practical work will focus on the analysis of Illumina sequencing data, starting from basic operations like viewing of sequence reads and quality control to comparison of sequences to the human reference, variant detection and finally pinpointing of potential target genes. We will analyze several clinical cases, including a familial cardio-vascular disease, parent-child trios with children affected by mental retardation or ataxia and an example case of tumor sequencing. 

Speakers:

Xavier Estivill (CRG, Barcelona)
