Identifying Genes for Mendelian Traits using Next Generation Sequence Data

Sept 28-Oct 2, 2015, Max Delbrück Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine, Berlin, Germany

General Information

Emphasis in this course is on strategies for gene mapping and variant/gene identification for Mendelian Traits. It will include theory as well as practical exercises. The exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (e.g. Gemini, GeneHunter, GERP, Homozygosity Mapper, Integrative Genome Viewer, MERLIN, PhyloP, PolyPhen, SEQLinkage, Variant Mendelian Tools,) and with pencil and paper. TOPICS include: study design; linkage analysis and homozygosity mapping using genotype array and next generation sequence data (exome and whole genome), haplotype reconstruction, evaluating pedigree informativeness and power to detect linkage, identification of causal variants using filter approaches, variant annotation, evaluation of deleterious effects of variants and their functionality
