&lt;br /&gt;
==General Information==&lt;br /&gt;
The eight Annual Berlin Genetic Association Course will be held at the MDC in Berlin from June 24-28, 2019. The goal of the course is to teach the course participants both theory and application of methods for population-based association analysis, with a concentration on the analysis of exome and whole genome sequence and genotype data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cost of the 5-day course is 975 EUR for researchers from an academic institution, and 1,950 EUR for individuals from private (for profit) companies. This fee covers tuition, Monday evening wine and cheese party and course-related expenses (handouts, etc.) but not room, board or meals. Inexpensive housing is available for course participants at the MDC and nearby hotels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The emphasis in this course is on strategies for genetic mapping of complex human traits. It will include theory as well as practical exercises. The exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (PLINK, GenABEL, MACH, UNPHASED, EIGENSTRAT, Variant Association Tools (VAT), SEQPower and R, etc.) and with pencil and paper. The emphasis of this course is on the analysis of population-based whole genome and exome data including genotype and sequence data. TOPICS include: Association analysis of qualitative and quantitative traits; single marker and haplotype analysis; analysis of whole-genome association study data; complex trait rare variant association analysis of next-generation sequence data; data quality control for genotype and next-generation sequence data; haplotype reconstruction; tagSNP selection; controlling population admixture (genomic control, principal components analysis, etc); imputing genotype data from sequence and genotype data; detecting gene x gene and gene x environmental interactions; power and sample size estimation for both genotype and rare variant data; permutation (estimating empirical p-values); and false discovery rate (FDR). The organizers and instructors for the course are Suzanne Leal (Baylor College of Medicine) and Michael Nothnagel (University of Cologne).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applications for the course are currently being accepted.&lt;br /&gt;

Berlin, Germany&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The fifth annual course on Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data will be held at the MDC in Berlin from November 11-15, 2019. The goal of the course is to teach both the theory and application of methods to analyze next-generation sequence (NGS) data for human complex traits. Attendees will learn how to design studies, call variants from NGS data, analysis of population-, trio- and family-based sequence data and evaluation of variant functionality. Analyses will include performing complex trait rare variant association analysis for population and trio data. Exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (GATK, IGV, Polyphen2, PSEQ, SEQPower, SEQSpark and Variant Association Tools (VAT)). TOPICS will be include: sequence alignment, calling variants from NGS data, quality control of NGS data, association testing framework for quantitative and qualitative traits (fixed effects, random effects and mixed models), rare variant association methods, estimating power and sample size for rare variant association studies, imputation of rare variants and their analysis, and evaluating variant conservation and functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Instructors===&lt;br /&gt;
The instructors for the course are [https://www.bcm.edu/research/labs/center-for-statistical-genetics/ Suzanne Leal] (Baylor College of Medicine) and [http://portal.ccg.uni-koeln.de/ccg/research/stat-gen-bioinformatics/ Michael Nothnagel] (University of Cologne).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Genetic Association Course=&lt;br /&gt;
With Application to Sequence and Genotype Data&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
June 24-28, 2019&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Max Delbruck Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Berlin, Germany&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==General Information==&lt;br /&gt;
The eight Annual Berlin Genetic Association Course will be held at the MDC in Berlin from June 24-28, 2019. The goal of the course is to teach the course participants both theory and application of methods for population-based association analysis, with a concentration on the analysis of exome and whole genome sequence and genotype data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cost of the 5-day course is 975 EUR for researchers from an academic institution, and 1,950 EUR for individuals from private (for profit) companies. This fee covers tuition, Monday evening wine and cheese party and course-related expenses (handouts, etc.) but not room, board or meals. Inexpensive housing is available for course participants at the MDC and nearby hotels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The emphasis in this course is on strategies for genetic mapping of complex human traits. It will include theory as well as practical exercises. The exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (PLINK, GenABEL, MACH, UNPHASED, EIGENSTRAT, Variant Association Tools (VAT), SEQPower and R, etc.) and with pencil and paper. The emphasis of this course is on the analysis of population-based whole genome and exome data including genotype and sequence data. TOPICS include: Association analysis of qualitative and quantitative traits; single marker and haplotype analysis; analysis of whole-genome association study data; complex trait rare variant association analysis of next-generation sequence data; data quality control for genotype and next-generation sequence data; haplotype reconstruction; tagSNP selection; controlling population admixture (genomic control, principal components analysis, etc); imputing genotype data from sequence and genotype data; detecting gene x gene and gene x environmental interactions; power and sample size estimation for both genotype and rare variant data; permutation (estimating empirical p-values); and false discovery rate (FDR). The organizers and instructors for the course are Suzanne Leal (Baylor College of Medicine) and Michael Nothnagel (University of Cologne).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Application deadline April 1, 2019&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Genetic Association Course=&lt;br /&gt;
With Application to Sequence and Genotype Data&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
June 24-28, 2019&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Max Delbruck Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Berlin, Germany&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Max Delbrück Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Berlin, Germany===&lt;br /&gt;
==General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The eight Annual Berlin Genetic Association Course will be held at the MDC in Berlin from June 24-28, 2019. The goal of the course is to teach the course participants both theory and application of methods for population-based association analysis, with a concentration on the analysis of exome and whole genome sequence and genotype data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cost of the 5-day course is 975 EUR for researchers from an academic institution, and 1,950 EUR for individuals from private (for profit) companies. This fee covers tuition, Monday evening wine and cheese party and course-related expenses (handouts, etc.) but not room, board or meals. Inexpensive housing is available for course participants at the MDC and nearby hotels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The emphasis in this course is on strategies for genetic mapping of complex human traits. It will include theory as well as practical exercises. The exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (PLINK, GenABEL, MACH, UNPHASED, EIGENSTRAT, Variant Association Tools (VAT), SEQPower and R, etc.) and with pencil and paper. The emphasis of this course is on the analysis of population-based whole genome and exome data including genotype and sequence data. TOPICS include: Association analysis of qualitative and quantitative traits; single marker and haplotype analysis; analysis of whole-genome association study data; complex trait rare variant association analysis of next-generation sequence data; data quality control for genotype and next-generation sequence data; haplotype reconstruction; tagSNP selection; controlling population admixture (genomic control, principal components analysis, etc); imputing genotype data from sequence and genotype data; detecting gene x gene and gene x environmental interactions; power and sample size estimation for both genotype and rare variant data; permutation (estimating empirical p-values); and false discovery rate (FDR). The organizers and instructors for the course are Suzanne Leal (Baylor College of Medicine) and Michael Nothnagel (University of Cologne).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Application deadline April 1, 2019&lt;br /&gt;

==General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The eight Annual Berlin Genetic Association Course will be held at the MDC in Berlin from June 24-28, 2019. The goal of the course is to teach the course participants both theory and application of methods for population-based association analysis, with a concentration on the analysis of exome and whole genome sequence and genotype data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cost of the 5-day course is 975 EUR for researchers from an academic institution, and 1,950 EUR for individuals from private (for profit) companies. This fee covers tuition, Monday evening wine and cheese party and course-related expenses (handouts, etc.) but not room, board or meals. Inexpensive housing is available for course participants at the MDC and nearby hotels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The emphasis in this course is on strategies for genetic mapping of complex human traits. It will include theory as well as practical exercises. The exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (PLINK, GenABEL, MACH, UNPHASED, EIGENSTRAT, Variant Association Tools (VAT), SEQPower and R, etc.) and with pencil and paper. The emphasis of this course is on the analysis of population-based whole genome and exome data including genotype and sequence data. TOPICS include: Association analysis of qualitative and quantitative traits; single marker and haplotype analysis; analysis of whole-genome association study data; complex trait rare variant association analysis of next-generation sequence data; data quality control for genotype and next-generation sequence data; haplotype reconstruction; tagSNP selection; controlling population admixture (genomic control, principal components analysis, etc); imputing genotype data from sequence and genotype data; detecting gene x gene and gene x environmental interactions; power and sample size estimation for both genotype and rare variant data; permutation (estimating empirical p-values); and false discovery rate (FDR). The organizers and instructors for the course are Suzanne Leal (Baylor College of Medicine) and Michael Nothnagel (University of Cologne).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Genetic Association Course=&lt;br /&gt;
With Application to Sequence and Genotype Data&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=With Application to the Analysis of Sequence and Genotype Data=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=June 24 - 28, 2019===&lt;br /&gt;
=Max Delbrück Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Berlin, Germany===&lt;br /&gt;
==General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The eight Annual Berlin Genetic Association Course will be held at the MDC in Berlin from June 24-28, 2019. The goal of the course is to teach the course participants both theory and application of methods for population-based association analysis, with a concentration on the analysis of exome and whole genome sequence and genotype data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cost of the 5-day course is 975 EUR for researchers from an academic institution, and 1,950 EUR for individuals from private (for profit) companies. This fee covers tuition, Monday evening wine and cheese party and course-related expenses (handouts, etc.) but not room, board or meals. Inexpensive housing is available for course participants at the MDC and nearby hotels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The emphasis in this course is on strategies for genetic mapping of complex human traits. It will include theory as well as practical exercises. The exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (PLINK, GenABEL, MACH, UNPHASED, EIGENSTRAT, Variant Association Tools (VAT), SEQPower and R, etc.) and with pencil and paper. The emphasis of this course is on the analysis of population-based whole genome and exome data including genotype and sequence data. TOPICS include: Association analysis of qualitative and quantitative traits; single marker and haplotype analysis; analysis of whole-genome association study data; complex trait rare variant association analysis of next-generation sequence data; data quality control for genotype and next-generation sequence data; haplotype reconstruction; tagSNP selection; controlling population admixture (genomic control, principal components analysis, etc); imputing genotype data from sequence and genotype data; detecting gene x gene and gene x environmental interactions; power and sample size estimation for both genotype and rare variant data; permutation (estimating empirical p-values); and false discovery rate (FDR). The organizers and instructors for the course are Suzanne Leal (Baylor College of Medicine) and Michael Nothnagel (University of Cologne).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Application deadline April 1, 2019&lt;br /&gt;

=Max Delbrück Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Berlin, Germany===&lt;br /&gt;
==General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The eight Annual Berlin Genetic Association Course will be held at the MDC in Berlin from June 24-28, 2019. The goal of the course is to teach the course participants both theory and application of methods for population-based association analysis, with a concentration on the analysis of exome and whole genome sequence and genotype data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cost of the 5-day course is 975 EUR for researchers from an academic institution, and 1,950 EUR for individuals from private (for profit) companies. This fee covers tuition, Monday evening wine and cheese party and course-related expenses (handouts, etc.) but not room, board or meals. Inexpensive housing is available for course participants at the MDC and nearby hotels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The emphasis in this course is on strategies for genetic mapping of complex human traits. It will include theory as well as practical exercises. The exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (PLINK, GenABEL, MACH, UNPHASED, EIGENSTRAT, Variant Association Tools (VAT), SEQPower and R, etc.) and with pencil and paper. The emphasis of this course is on the analysis of population-based whole genome and exome data including genotype and sequence data. TOPICS include: Association analysis of qualitative and quantitative traits; single marker and haplotype analysis; analysis of whole-genome association study data; complex trait rare variant association analysis of next-generation sequence data; data quality control for genotype and next-generation sequence data; haplotype reconstruction; tagSNP selection; controlling population admixture (genomic control, principal components analysis, etc); imputing genotype data from sequence and genotype data; detecting gene x gene and gene x environmental interactions; power and sample size estimation for both genotype and rare variant data; permutation (estimating empirical p-values); and false discovery rate (FDR). The organizers and instructors for the course are Suzanne Leal (Baylor College of Medicine) and Michael Nothnagel (University of Cologne).&lt;br /&gt;

=Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data=&lt;br /&gt;
November 11-15, 2019&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Max Delbrück Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Berlin, Germany&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The fifth annual course on Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data will be held at the MDC in Berlin from November 11-15, 2019. The goal of the course is to teach both the theory and application of methods to analyze next-generation sequence (NGS) data for human complex traits. Attendees will learn how to design studies, call variants from NGS data, analysis of population-, trio- and family-based sequence data and evaluation of variant functionality. Analyses will include performing complex trait rare variant association analysis for population and trio data. Exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (GATK, IGV, Polyphen2, PSEQ, SEQPower, SEQSpark and Variant Association Tools (VAT)). TOPICS will be include: sequence alignment, calling variants from NGS data, quality control of NGS data, association testing framework for quantitative and qualitative traits (fixed effects, random effects and mixed models), rare variant association methods, estimating power and sample size for rare variant association studies, imputation of rare variants and their analysis, and evaluating variant conservation and functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Instructors===&lt;br /&gt;
The instructors for the course are [https://www.bcm.edu/research/labs/center-for-statistical-genetics/ Suzanne Leal] (Baylor College of Medicine) and [http://portal.ccg.uni-koeln.de/ccg/research/stat-gen-bioinformatics/ Michael Nothnagel] (University of Cologne).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of the course is to teach both the theory and application of methods to analyze next-generation sequence (NGS) data for human complex traits. Attendees will learn how to design studies, call variants from NGS data, analysis of population-, trio- and family-based sequence data and evaluation of variant functionality. Analyses will include performing complex trait rare variant association analysis for population and trio data. Exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (GATK, IGV, Polyphen2, PSEQ, SEQPower, SEQSpark and Variant Association Tools (VAT)). TOPICS will be include: sequence alignment, calling variants from NGS data, quality control of NGS data, association testing framework for quantitative and qualitative traits (fixed effects, random effects and mixed models), rare variant association methods, estimating power and sample size for rare variant association studies, imputation of rare variants and their analysis, and evaluating variant conservation and functionality.&lt;br /&gt;

Handicapped individuals are encouraged to apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four travel stipends of up to $1,000 each are available. Eligibility requirements are: (1) sufficient background and practical experience in statistical analysis of genetic data, and (2) demonstrated financial need. Preference for stipends will be given to pre-doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers. To apply for such a stipend, please attach a letter of request and enclose a letter of reference and proof of student or postdoctoral status.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Knowledge genetic association analysis, genetic epidemiology and/or statistical genetics are screening criteria for selection of participants. Please describe your experience in detail in your application. We may contact you personally to discuss your application. Although the experience of using LINUX is not necessary it is highly beneficial to have basic knowledge of this operating system before the start of the course.&lt;br /&gt;

=Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data=&lt;br /&gt;
June 18-22, 2018&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Max Delbrück Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Berlin, Germany&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth annual course on Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data will be held at the MDC in Berlin from June 18-22, 2018. The goal of the course is to teach both the theory and application of methods to analyze next-generation sequence (NGS) data for human complex traits. Attendees will learn how to design studies, call variants from NGS data, analysis of population-, trio- and family-based sequence data and evaluation of variant functionality. Analyses will include performing complex trait rare variant association analysis for population and trio data. Exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (GATK, IGV, Polyphen2, PSEQ, SEQPower, SEQSpark and Variant Association Tools (VAT)). TOPICS will be include: sequence alignment, calling variants from NGS data, quality control of NGS data, association testing framework for quantitative and qualitative traits (fixed effects, random effects and mixed models), rare variant association methods, estimating power and sample size for rare variant association studies, imputation of rare variants and their analysis, and evaluating variant conservation and functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Instructors===&lt;br /&gt;
The instructors for the course are [https://www.bcm.edu/research/labs/center-for-statistical-genetics/ Suzanne Leal] (Baylor College of Medicine) and [http://portal.ccg.uni-koeln.de/ccg/research/stat-gen-bioinformatics/ Michael Nothnagel] (University of Cologne).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===More Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The cost of the 5-day course is 975 EUR for researchers from an academic institution, and 1,950 EUR for individuals from private (for profit) companies. This fee covers tuition, Monday evening wine and cheese party and course-related expenses (handouts, etc.) but not room, board or meals. Inexpensive housing is available for course participants at the MDC and nearby hotels. The maximum number of participants is 35.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth annual course on Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data will be held at the MDC in Berlin from June 18-22, 2018. The goal of the course is to teach both the theory and application of methods to analyze next generation sequence (NGS) data for human complex traits. Attendees will learn how to design studies, call variants from NGS data, analysis of population-, trio- and family-based sequence data and evaluation of variant functionality. Analyses will include performing complex trait rare variant association analysis for population and trio data. Exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (GATK, IGV, Polyphen2, PSEQ, SEQPower, SEQSpark and Variant Association Tools (VAT)). TOPICS will be include: sequence alignment, calling variants from NGS data, quality control of NGS data, association testing framework for quantitative and qualitative traits (fixed effects, random effects and mixed models), rare variant association methods, estimating power and sample size for rare variant association studies, imputation of rare variants and their analysis, and evaluating variant conservation and functionality.&lt;br /&gt;

=Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data=&lt;br /&gt;
June 18-22, 2018&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Max Delbrück Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Berlin, Germany&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth annual course on Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data will be held at the MDC in Berlin from June 18-22, 2018. The goal of the course is to teach both the theory and application of methods to analyze next generation sequence (NGS) data for human complex traits. Attendees will learn how to design studies, call variants from NGS data, analysis of population-, trio- and family-based sequence data and evaluation of variant functionality. Analyses will include performing complex trait rare variant association analysis for population and trio data. Exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (GATK, IGV, Polyphen2, PSEQ, SEQPower, SEQSpark and Variant Association Tools (VAT)). TOPICS will be include: sequence alignment, calling variants from NGS data, quality control of NGS data, association testing framework for quantitative and qualitative traits (fixed effects, random effects and mixed models), rare variant association methods, estimating power and sample size for rare variant association studies, imputation of rare variants and their analysis, and evaluating variant conservation and functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Instructors===&lt;br /&gt;
The instructors for the course are [https://www.bcm.edu/research/labs/center-for-statistical-genetics/ Suzanne Leal] (Baylor College of Medicine) and [http://portal.ccg.uni-koeln.de/ccg/research/stat-gen-bioinformatics/ Michael Nothnagel] (University of Cologne).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===More Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The cost of the 5-day course is 975 EUR for researchers from an academic institution, and 1,950 EUR for individuals from private (for profit) companies. This fee covers tuition, Monday evening wine and cheese party and course-related expenses (handouts, etc.) but not room, board or meals. Inexpensive housing is available for course participants at the MDC and nearby hotels. The maximum number of participants is 35.&lt;br /&gt;

=Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data=&lt;br /&gt;
June 18-22, 2018&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Max Delbrück Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Berlin, Germany&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth annual course on Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data will be held at the MDC in Berlin from June 18-22, 2018. The goal of the course is to teach both the theory and application of methods to analyze next generation sequence (NGS) data for human complex traits. Attendees will learn how to design studies, call variants from NGS data, analysis of population-, trio- and family-based sequence data and evaluation of variant functionality. Analyses will include performing complex trait rare variant association analysis for population and trio data. Exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (GATK, IGV, Polyphen2, PSEQ, SEQPower, SEQSpark and Variant Association Tools (VAT)). TOPICS will be include: sequence alignment, calling variants from NGS data, quality control of NGS data, association testing framework for quantitative and qualitative traits (fixed effects, random effects and mixed models), rare variant association methods, estimating power and sample size for rare variant association studies, imputation of rare variants and their analysis, and evaluating variant conservation and functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Instructors===&lt;br /&gt;
The instructors for the course are [https://www.bcm.edu/research/labs/center-for-statistical-genetics/ Suzanne Leal] (Baylor College of Medicine) and [http://portal.ccg.uni-koeln.de/ccg/research/stat-gen-bioinformatics/ Michael Nothnagel] (University of Cologne).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===More Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The cost of the 5-day course is 975 EUR for researchers from an academic institution, and 1,950 EUR for individuals from private (for profit) companies. This fee covers tuition, Monday evening wine and cheese party and course-related expenses (handouts, etc.) but not room, board or meals. Inexpensive housing is available for course participants at the MDC and nearby hotels. The maximum number of participants is 35.&lt;br /&gt;

=Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data=&lt;br /&gt;
June 18-22, 2018&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Max Delbrück Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Berlin, Germany&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth annual course on Complex Trait Analysis of Next Generation Sequence Data will be held at the MDC in Berlin from June 18-22, 2018. The goal of the course is to teach both the theory and application of methods to analyze next generation sequence (NGS) data for human complex traits. Attendees will learn how to design studies, call variants from NGS data, analysis of population-, trio- and family-based sequence data and evaluation of variant functionality. Analyses will include performing complex trait rare variant association analysis for population and trio data. Exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs (GATK, IGV, Polyphen2, PSEQ, SEQPower, SEQSpark and Variant Association Tools (VAT)). TOPICS will be include: sequence alignment, calling variants from NGS data, quality control of NGS data, association testing framework for quantitative and qualitative traits (fixed effects, random effects and mixed models), rare variant association methods, estimating power and sample size for rare variant association studies, imputation of rare variants and their analysis, and evaluating variant conservation and functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Instructors===&lt;br /&gt;
The instructors for the course are [https://www.bcm.edu/research/labs/center-for-statistical-genetics/ Suzanne Leal] (Baylor College of Medicine) and [http://portal.ccg.uni-koeln.de/ccg/research/stat-gen-bioinformatics/ Michael Nothnagel] (University of Cologne).&lt;br /&gt;

Monday through Friday, January 22-26, 2018&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
An advanced gene mapping course will be held in New York from Monday through Friday January 22-26, 2017. The cost of the 5-day course is $100 for student, academic and government researchers and $2,800 for researchers working in industry. This fee covers tuition and course related expenses (handouts, etc.) but not room and board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The course emphasis is analysis of complex human disease traits; concentrating on methods to detect rare and common variant associations. The course includes theory as well as practical exercises. The exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs including BEAM3, GERP, GotCloud, GenAbel, Matrix-eQTL, PLINK, PrediXCan, Polyphen-2, R, SEQPower, Variant Association Tools (VAT), etc. Topics include: Analysis of whole genome association studies; analysis of rare variants using next generation sequence data; analysis of qualitative and quantitative traits (population and family-based data); Linear mixed models; eQTL mapping; prediction models using RNAseq and array data; inferences for heritability estimation and prediction; functional predication of variant sites, variant annotation; variant calling, controlling for population substructure\admixture (principal components analysis\multidimensionality scaling); data quality control of genotype and sequence data; meta-analysis; gene x gene interaction; sample size estimation and evaluating power for common and rare variants.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Course Instructors===&lt;br /&gt;
The instructors for the course are: Goncalo Abecasis (University of Michigan), Heather Cordell (University of Newcastle), Nancy Cox (Vanderbilt University), Suzanne Leal (The Rockefeller University &amp;amp; Baylor College of Medicine), and Shamil Sunyaev (Harvard University).&lt;br /&gt;

==Advanced Gene Mapping Course==&lt;br /&gt;
The Rockefeller University, New York&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Welch – The Great Hall&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Monday through Friday, January 22-26, 2018&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
An advanced gene mapping course will be held in New York from Monday through Friday January 22-26, 2017. The cost of the 5-day course is $100 for student, academic and government researchers and $2,800 for researchers working in industry. This fee covers tuition and course related expenses (handouts, etc.) but not room and board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The course emphasis is analysis of complex human disease traits; concentrating on methods to detect rare and common variant associations. The course includes theory as well as practical exercises. The exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs including BEAM3, GERP, GotCloud, GenAbel, Matrix-eQTL, PLINK, PrediXCan, Polyphen-2, R, SEQPower, Variant Association Tools (VAT), etc. Topics include: Analysis of whole genome association studies; analysis of rare variants using next generation sequence data; analysis of qualitative and quantitative traits (population and family-based data); Linear mixed models; eQTL mapping; prediction models using RNAseq and array data; inferences for heritability estimation and prediction; functional predication of variant sites, variant annotation; variant calling, controlling for population substructure\admixture (principal components analysis\multidimensionality scaling); data quality control of genotype and sequence data; meta-analysis; gene x gene interaction; sample size estimation and evaluating power for common and rare variants.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Course Instructors===&lt;br /&gt;
The instructors for the course are: Goncalo Abecasis (University of Michigan), Heather Cordell (University of Newcastle), Nancy Cox (Vanderbilt University), Suzanne Leal (The Rockefeller University &amp;amp; Baylor College of Medicine), and Shamil Sunyaev (Harvard University).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===More Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The maximum number of participants is 30. The course will take place in the Great Hall in Welch at The Rockefeller University, which is equipped with PCs running under LINUX. The course is wheel chair accessible. All disabilities will be accommodated. Handicapped individuals are encouraged to apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four travel stipends of up to $1,000 each are available. Eligibility requirements are: (1) sufficient background and practical experience in statistical analysis of genetic data, and (2) demonstrated financial need. Preference for stipends will be given to pre-doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers. To apply for such a stipend, please attach a letter of request and enclose a letter of reference and proof of student or postdoctoral status.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Knowledge genetic association analysis, genetic epidemiology and/or statistical genetics are screening criteria for selection of participants. Please describe your experience in detail in your application. We may contact you personally to discuss your application. Although experience of using LINUX is not necessary it is highly beneficial to have basic knowledge of this operating system before the start of the course.&lt;br /&gt;

==Advanced Gene Mapping Course==&lt;br /&gt;
The Rockefeller University, New York&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Welch – The Great Hall&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Monday through Friday, January 22-26, 2018&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===General Information===&lt;br /&gt;
An advanced gene mapping course will be held in New York from Monday through Friday January 22-26, 2017. The cost of the 5-day course is $100 for student, academic and government researchers and $2,800 for researchers working in industry. This fee covers tuition and course related expenses (handouts, etc.) but not room and board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The course emphasis is analysis of complex human disease traits; concentrating on methods to detect rare and common variant associations. The course includes theory as well as practical exercises. The exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs including BEAM3, GERP, GotCloud, GenAbel, Matrix-eQTL, PLINK, PrediXCan, Polyphen-2, R, SEQPower, Variant Association Tools (VAT), etc. Topics include: Analysis of whole genome association studies; analysis of rare variants using next generation sequence data; analysis of qualitative and quantitative traits (population and family-based data); Linear mixed models; eQTL mapping; prediction models using RNAseq and array data; inferences for heritability estimation and prediction; functional predication of variant sites, variant annotation; variant calling, controlling for population substructure\admixture (principal components analysis\multidimensionality scaling); data quality control of genotype and sequence data; meta-analysis; gene x gene interaction; sample size estimation and evaluating power for common and rare variants.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Course Instructors===&lt;br /&gt;
The instructors for the course are: Goncalo Abecasis (University of Michigan), Heather Cordell (University of Newcastle), Nancy Cox (Vanderbilt University), Suzanne Leal (The Rockefeller University &amp;amp; Baylor College of Medicine), and Shamil Sunyaev (Harvard University).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===More Information===&lt;br /&gt;
The maximum number of participants is 30. The course will take place in the Great Hall in Welch at The Rockefeller University, which is equipped with PCs running under LINUX. The course is wheel chair accessible. All disabilities will be accommodated. Handicapped individuals are encouraged to apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four travel stipends of up to $1,000 each are available. Eligibility requirements are: (1) sufficient background and practical experience in statistical analysis of genetic data, and (2) demonstrated financial need. Preference for stipends will be given to pre-doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers. To apply for such a stipend, please attach a letter of request and enclose a letter of reference and proof of student or postdoctoral status.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Knowledge genetic association analysis, genetic epidemiology and/or statistical genetics are screening criteria for selection of participants. Please describe your experience in detail in your application. We may contact you personally to discuss your application. Although experience of using LINUX is not necessary it is highly beneficial to have basic knowledge of this operating system before the start of the course.&lt;br /&gt;
