CAGE-KID Cancer Genomics Workshop
Course - Hinxton, United Kingdom
This course is aimed at advanced PhD students and post-doctoral researchers who are applying or planning to apply high throughput sequencing technologies in cancer research and wish to familiarise themselves with bioinformatics tools and data analysis methodologies specific to cancer data.
Familiarity with the technology and biological use cases of high throughput sequencing is required, as is some experience with R/Bioconductor (basic understanding of the R syntax and ability to manipulate R objects) and the Unix/Linux operating system.
Lectures will give insight into bioinformatics concepts required to analyze cancer genomic data. Practicals will consist of computer exercises that will enable the participants to apply statistical methods to the analysis of cancer genomics data under the guidance of the lecturers and teaching assistants.
The course covers data analysis of cancer genomics data.
Topics will include: introduction to cancer genomics; how to visualize cancer genome features; analytical methods to detect somatic mutations, genome rearrangements and copy number alterations; RNA-seq data analysis; pathway and network analysis in cancer genomics.
