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.
