Advanced R: Variant Analysis (Fall 2020)

Offered by

High-Performance Biological Computing (HPCBIO)

Details

Multi-Day
Wed Dec. 2, 2020 – Fri Dec. 4, 2020

Description

With the support of the OVCR, HPCBio will teach a 2-part workshop, held on December 2nd & 4th from 1-3pm each day. Attendees will learn how to read, filter, and interrogate variant calls that are in VCF (Variant Call Format) format with Bioconductor packages in R. Analyses may include some or all of the following topics: assessing minor allele frequency, missing data rate, heterozygosity, and/or linkage disequilibrium; working with genome annotations as TxDb objects; discovering what genes are near SNPs of interest; identifying functional consequences of variants.
