NIH Fellows or NIH community members being sponsored by their lab and awaiting payment authorization can tentatively hold a seat using the “Reserve A Seat” option. FAES must receive payment within 7 business days after reserving a seat or 3 business days before the start of the workshop, which ever comes first. If payment is not received in this time frame, your reservation will be canceled.
Background
Next generation sequencing technologies have made genotyping a day to day research and diagnostic tool. Genotyping has come all the way from bench-to-bedside. Genetic variants are being used in personalized medicine to identify susceptibility genes, common disease variants and mutations relevant for diagnosis and therapy.
Simultaneous access to two screens is highly recommended for adequate learning experience. Examples include two laptops, one computer with two screens, one laptop and one tablet, etc.
Objectives
Participants will use popular open source tools and techniques necessary for analysing variants starting from raw data quality control. Apart from the regular analysis like alignment, variant calling and annotation, this training will walk through participants in several advanced variant analysis methods and techniques.
Who should attend
- Researchers and academics interested in learning the tools and methods to identify and study variants using techniques like DNA-Seq and other methods
- Clinicians, researchers and academics interested in understanding/predicting the effect of mutations on the structure and function of a biological molecule for diagnostic and treatment potentials
- Program administrators who are interested in getting a firsthand experience working with tools and techniques to understand variant analysis
Skill sets taught
- NGS Basics, experimental design, data format
- Data quality control, preprocessing and alignment
- Germline variant calling
- Somatic variant calling
- Variant score recalibration and filtering
- Variant calling best practices
- Indels, structural and copy-number variation
- Cohort and population scale analysis
- Recombination, linkage, LOH, haplotype, allelic imbalance
- Variant annotation and association analysis
- Co-variation, causal variation, network analysis
Highlights
- Cloud-based Linux desktop
- Training provided by active NIH researchers
- Cookbook style bound manual for all exercises
- Continuing Education Credits
Workshops generally run from 9:00am - 5:00pm.
Comprehensive file
A PDF file containing all notes, protocols, and reference material will be provided. No additional books are required.
Credit
Although no grades are given for courses, each participant will receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs) based on the number of contact hours. One CEU is equal to ten contact hours. Upon completion of this course each participant will receive a certificate, showing completion of the workshop and 2.8 CEUs.

Refund Policy
100% tuition refund for registrations cancelled 14 or more calendar days prior to the start of the workshop.
50% tuition refund for registrations cancelled between 4 to 13 calendar days prior to the start of the workshop.
No refund will be issued for registrations cancelled 3 calendar days or less prior to the start of the workshop.
Notification
All cancellations must be received in writing via email to Ms. Carline Coote at registration@faes.org.
Cancellations received after 4:00 pm (ET) on business days or received on non-business days are time marked for the following business day.
All refund payments will be processed by the start of the initial workshop.
FAES reserves the right to cancel any course up to 3 business days prior to the course start date. Notifications will be emailed immediately upon cancellation and a tuition refund will be issued. Every effort will be made to retain posted courses. We encourage the purchase of refundable travel reservations should a course be cancelled for any reason.
