Advanced R / Bioconductor Workshop on High-Throughput Genetic Analysis registration: https://secure.bioconductor.org/SeattleFeb12/ February 27-28, 2012 Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center - Seattle, WA The Advanced R / Bioconductor Workshop on High-Throughput Genetic Analysis is a unique combination of expert practitioners and advanced students working together to explore statistical and bioinformatic issues in analysis of high throughput genetic data. The workshop begins with a review of Bioconductor packages, data structures, and resources relevant to high throughput analysis. This portion of the workshop is lead by the Bioconductor core team. The workshop continues with presentations and short exercises on specific statistical and bioinformatic challenges in data analysis and comprehension. This portion of the workshop is lead by invited experts from the Bioconductor community. Participants engage in lectures, hands-on exercises, and discussion; be prepared with a modern laptop, R-2.14, and additional software packages to be identified prior to the start of the course. There are a limited number of positions available, so register early! Likely topics include: representation and manipulation of data for sequence analysis; machine learning in high-throughput analysis; approaches to large scale gene set analysis; variants and genetical genomics; and additional topics. -- Computational Biology Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center 1100 Fairview Ave. N.
