The 4th Kyoto Course and Symposium on Bioinformatics for Next Generation Sequencing with Applications in Human Genetics : March 29th<\/sup> \u2013 April 2nd<\/sup>, 2016 Kyoto University<\/big><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training course:<\/big><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3-day course will provide a practical introduction to analysis of next generation sequencing data from handling of raw data to applications in study of human disease. As example of analysis techniques, methods to examine whole-genome, exomic, and epigenomic sequence data will be covered in depth. We will illustrate the use of sequence data in combination with methods for mapping disease genes in genetic studies. The course provides attendees with a unique opportunity to interact closely with the world-leading researchers who serve as instructors.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
