DNA Variant Analysis with R Bioconductor
In this 3-hour workshop, we will use R to analyze DNA variants from Variant Call Format files to identify those likely to have a functional impact. It is intended for those with intermediate R programming skills.
Offered biannually.
Genomic Annotations with R Bioconductor
In this 3-hour workshop, we will use R for annotating genomic data with information from various reference genome and functional databases. It is intended for those with intermediate R programming skills.
Offered biannually.
RNA-Seq Analysis with R Bioconductor
In this 3-hour workshop, we will use R to analyze bulk RNA-seq data to perform differential expression analysis, enrichment analysis, and visualizations. It is intended for those with intermediate R programming skills.
Offered biannually.
Single-cell RNA-seq Analysis with Bioconductor
In this 3-hour workshop, we will demonstrate how to process and analyze single cell RNA-seq data using R Bioconductor packages, focusing primarily on seurat. It is intended for those with intermediate R programming skills who are familiar with the biological concepts of single cell RNA-seq.
Offered biannually.

Intermediate R: RNAseq Analysis
Single Cell Analysis Hands-on Workshop
Single Cell Technology & Analysis Symposium
Workshop on Whole Genome & Exome analysis
This 3-hour workshop will be both theoretical and hands-on. We will learn the main tools used to do alignment, variant calling, annotation and visualization. We will start with raw FASTQ reads and get to annotated variants (VCF files).
GENOMIC & PRECISION MEDICINE ONLINE COURSE
This course aims to provide participants with some baseline knowledge of genomics, an overview of the clinical applications of genomic medicine, the skills to evaluate the clinical validity and utility of new tests, and an appreciation of the associated ethical and social issues inherent in this field.
