Dear all, <br>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<p> We are pleased to announce the SIB course: <br>
<br>
<b> </b><b>"NGS - Genome variant analysis</b><b>"</b><b>, 6 - 7
February 2018, in Bern.</b><br>
<br>
The detection of genetic changes using diverse next generation
sequencing technologies e.g. whole genome, whole exome, RNA and
target sequencing has several applications in genomics and other
omics fields. The unbiased reliable detection of variants
remains a challenge for many.<br>
</p>
<p>This two-days course targets biologists and computational
biologists. We will mainly introduce and practice the
methodology for detecting germline mutations by validating
mapping data, realigning regions of interest to reduce false
discovery and calling for known variants as well as de novo
discoveries.<br>
<br>
Further detailed information, prerequisites and application form
are available from <a

Best wishes,<br>
