Summer Course on Statistical Methods for Functional Genomics

Dear all,

Registration is open for the 2013 Summer Course on Statistical Methods for Functional Genomics, to be held June 21 - July 3, 2013 at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories in Long Island, NY, USA.

This is an intensive, hands-on course focused on state-of-the-art techniques for genomic data analysis and integration.

The course features theory lectures, practical applications using R programming and research talks from high-profile scientists such as Elaine Mardis, Tim Hughes, John Stam and many others.

Topics will include:
• The R environment for statistical computing and graphics
• Introduction to Bioconductor
• Review of basic statistical theory and hypothesis testing
• Experimental design, quality control, and normalization
• High-throughput sequencing technologies
• Expression profiling using RNA-Seq and microarrays
• In vivo protein binding using ChIP-Seq
• High-resolution chromatin footprinting using DNase-Seq
• DNA methylation profiling analysis
• Integrative analysis of data from parallel assays
• Representations of DNA binding specificity and motif discovery algorithms
• Predictive modeling of gene regulatory networks using machine learning
• Analysis of posttranscriptional regulation, RNA binding proteins, and microRNAs

Further details and application procedure are available at http://meetings.cshl.edu/courses/2013/c-data13.shtml

Best regards,
Olivier Elemento
