Welcome to Cancer Genomics

The University of Sydney

25th - 27th July 2017


The Cancer Genomics workshop aims to provide an introduction to cancer genomics analytical pipelines for single nucleotide variations (SNV), copy number variations (CNV) and structural variations (SV).

Workshop Content

By the end of the course participants will be able to:
• Ability to perform NGS alignment and manipulate the output,
• Consider and plan experimental design,
• Be able to identify and generate variants (SNV, CNV, SV, Indels),
• Interpret variants with potential clinical interest,
• Be able to visualise and present data

This workshop will be delivered using a mixture of lectures, hands-on practical sessions, and open discussions.
