The amount of data it produces, however, can be overwhelming?typically over three million variants per genome. The challenges for many researchers today are how to make sense of this huge volume of data in the context of the scientific question being asked, and how to identify those variants that provide meaningful and relevant information. In this webinar we will discuss current approaches to variant analysis and how they can be most effectively integrated into the next generation sequencing pipeline. During the webinar, viewers will: - Learn about various methods for analyzing and comparing variants, including tips and pitfalls - Gain a fuller understanding of the importance of accurate and robust variant analysis - Receive advice on managing and manipulating large data sets - Have the opportunity to put their questions to our panel of experts!

picnic/BBQ on 10.6.13
by Jaromir Guzinski 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Hello Everyone, To celebrate the coming of summer and very nice weather we would like to invite you all to a picnic/BBQ that will be happening the coming Monday (10th of June) at the Botanical Gardens, starting at 17:00. To let us know whether you can participate please click on the link below and enter your name in the first column of the table: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgW-8sNrHaHzdFlveDk1V3JGbkM5OE… In the second column enter what sort of food you will be able to bring to share with others. We think it will be best if we will have a good choice of sausages and other meat to put on the barbecue, salads, bread, and something sweet. For the drinks, everyone can bring whatever they will want to drink on that day. In the last column, please specify whether you could bring a portable barbecue. Jouni has kindly agreed that we could use his on that day, but it is probably too small for a larger group, thus it will be best if we could have at least one more. If you can come, please fill in the table by the coming Friday afternoon. Note that there is no need to save the table after editing it, and you do not need to be singed in. On behalf of the organizing committee, Jaro, Tuomas, Jaakko

Journal Club on Wednesday June 5 at 14.30
by Heidi Aisala 30 May '13

30 May '13

Hi all, Geneticists' Journal Club meets again next week, on Wednesday 5 June at 14.30 in the lobby of Ympäristötietotalo. We'll read the attached paper by Gayral et al. concerning population genomics without a reference genome ("Reference-Free Population Genomics from Next-Generation Transcriptome Data and the VertebrateInvertebrate Gap"). I also attach a short commentary paper by Louisa Flintoft, published in Nature Reviews Genetics ("Noah's Ark Arrives"). See you next week, Heidi
