VEPTC logoIt is our pleasure to invite you to attend and participate in the 3rd HVP Variant Effect Prediction Training Course that will be held from Monday 27th to Thursday 30th August 2018 at Newcastle University Medicine, Johor, Malaysia.  The city may easily be reached via direct flights or via a short drive over the bridges from Singapore.  The third Course will be based on the subjects covered by the previous two Courses and improved based on suggestions of the participants.

The course will be a mix of theory and practice presented by invited expert speakers and abstract-selected participant contributions. Participants are stimulated to submit an abstract related to the topic of the course, e.g. the workflow followed, practical problems, solutions developed, etc. Practical sessions will be a mix of academic and commercial demonstrations giving course participants hands-on experience with computational analysis tools.

Expected Participants are people working in a DNA laboratory including clinical diagnostic labs involved in DNA sequencing data analysis. Participants are expected to bring their own laptop as this will be needed for the Course.

Expected knowledge - basic knowledge of molecular biology (DNA, RNA, protein), molecular biology lab technologies (esp. sequencing) and (human) genetics.

Participants are Expected to bring thier own laptop.

The language of instruction will be ENGLISH.
