Bioinformatics for Genomics
Conquer the genomics data deluge by applying informatics tools to go beyond SNPs, CNVs, GWAS, sequencing, and gene expression studies to integrate and comprehend the function of genes from the genotype to phenotype level. Hear presentations on mapping mismatches, fingerprinting BAC libraries, quantitative binding of transcription factors to DNA, modeling the regulatory assembly of spliceosomes, and detecting putatively functional genetic polymorphisms. Interact with bioinformatic researchers from febit biomed, Georg-August-University, Keygene NV, Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics Computational Biology, Parc Cientific de Barcelona, Uppsala University, and the University Claude Bernard.
