Dear CCR Scientist: The Bioinformatics Training and Education Program (BTEP) is pleased to present a workshop on “Variant Analysis using Genomatix GeneGrid”.
** please bring laptop with Flash installed for the hands-on portion of this demo. If you need to borrow a laptop please indicate in the comments when you register. Genomatix GeneGrid is a variant annotation and analysis tool that integrates both public and proprietary data sources for examining the biological effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and/or insertions-deletions (indels) in heritable or non-heritable (epigenetic) human disease. Using GeneGrid, one can quickly perform trio analysis, case-control studies, identify somatic SNPs and visualize and dynamically interact with these results in the context of other integrated Genomatix data content including: genomic annotation, biological pathways, and the supporting biomedical literature. GeneGrid also includes the ability to generate variant report summaries and provides link-outs to genetic testing providers. For an overview of the GeneGrid technology we invite you to visit: http://www.genomatix.de/solutions/genegrid.html The training course will consist of a GeneGrid overview lecture and instructor-led demonstration of how to import VCF and BAM files into the GeneGrid platform, followed by a hands-on training demonstrating the use of GeneGrid for variant annotation and analysis. At the end of the course, students will have learned how to: *import VCF and BAM files into the GeneGrid platform; *view VCF sample statistics and the associated metadata; *run a sample comparison; *annotate and filter variants; *view annotated variant data in the Genomatix Genome Browser; *use the results management features; *apply the mastery of GeneGrid to their own data Date: October 26, 2018 Time: 1 PM - 4 PM Location: NIH, Bldg 37, Rm 6107 Presenter(s): Susan Dombrowski, Ph.D. (Genomatix) Registration link: https://btep.ccr.cancer.gov/classes/btep-variant-analysis-using-genomatix-genegrid/ ************** Visit the BTEP website: https://btep.ccr.cancer.gov Questions/Comments and/or suggestions may be directed to: [email protected] Dr. Amy Stonelake 240-760-6314 Dr. Peter FitzGerald 240-760-7181 Amy Stonelake, Ph.D. [Contractor] Scientific Manager, Bioinformatics Training & Education Program (BTEP) Leidos Biomedical Research Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Phone: (240) 760-6314 Location: NIH, Bldg 37, Rm 3035
