Analysis of Genetic Data, Part 1
Peter Carbonetto, Computational Scientist, Statistics and Genetics, Research Computing Center
Thursday, November 3, 2016, 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. | Kathleen A. Zar Room, John Crerar Library

In this 2-hour workshop, participants will apply simple approaches to investigate and visualize large-scale genetic data sets, with an emphasis on practical skills that can be applied to genetics research. This is intended to be a more informal, hands-on workshop, and no background in genetics is required; anyone with intermediate computing skills (see "Prerequisites") who is curious about human genetics and the "genomics revolution" is encouraged to register. Over the course of the 2 hours, interesting insights will be generated directly from "raw" genetic data, and participants can continue to explore the data independently using the techniques introduced in class.
