Special attention will be given to the newest fu nctionalities in GATK3\, including joint discovery in cohorts and RNAseq a nalysis. \n\n*The workshop will last two days\, with a day and a half of l ectures (including many opportunities for Q&\;A) and one half day of ha nds-on training. \n\n*On the first day\, we will explain the rationale\, t heory and real-life applications of our Best Practices for Variant Discove ry in high-throughput sequencing data. \n\n*On the second day\, in the mor ning we will cover additional topics such as the differences between whole genome vs. exome analysis\, sequence data QC metrics\, and how to apply G ATK to non-model organisms. In the afternoon\, we will hold a hands-on ses sion in which attendees will learn to interact with the GATK tools and app ly them effectively.\n\n*The lecture-based component of the workshop is ai med at a mixed audience of people who are new to GATK seeking an introduct ory course into the tools\, or who are already GATK users seeking to impro ve their understanding of and proficiency with the tools. The hands-on com ponent is aimed mainly at beginners who have basic familiarity with the co mmand line environment.\n\n*A draft agenda can be found [here](https://dri ve.google.com/file/d/0B5BzNXp93Gp5eWtiaWtFdnJRcEU/view?usp=sharing). \n\n* This event is sponsored by [eLife](http://elifesciences.org/).\n\nPlease note that if you are not eligible for a University of Cambridge [Raven](ht tp://www.ucs.cam.ac.uk/docs/faq/raven/n5) account you will need to Book or register Interest by linking [here](http://marstons.bio.cam.ac.uk/course- booking/?CourseID=Bioinformatics:%20Variant%20Analysis%20with%20GATK%20_20 15.04.23-24_1380452&\;CourseName=Bioinformatics:%20Variant%20Analysis%2 0with%20GATK&\;CourseDate=2015.04.23-24&\;CourseDuration=2&\;Even tID=1380452).''
