BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:icalendar-ruby CALSCALE:GREGORIAN BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260616T135810Z UID:bb9d08af-b3ea-43bd-a863-680ed42bed54 DTSTART:20240227T000000Z DTEND:20240228T050000Z DESCRIPTION:There are many interesting patterns that you can extract from g enetic variant data. This can include patterns of linkage\, balancing sele ction\, or even inbreeding signals. One of the most common approaches is t o find sites on the genome that are under selection. \n\nThis workshop int roduces the basics of genetic selection analysis. It will step you through the process of identifying signals of selection in an example genomic dat aset using the outlier analysis method. \n\n**Lead Trainer**: Dr Katarina Stuart\, Research Fellow\, University of Auckland.\n\n**Date/Time:** 27 -2 8 February 2024\, 1pm-6pm NZDT / 11am - 4pm AEDT / 10am - 3pm AEST / 10:30 am - 3:30pm ACST / 8am - 1pm AWST ([check in your timezone](https://www.ti meanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?ah=5&\;iso=20240227T11&\;msg =Genetic%20Outlier%20Analysis&\;p1=152)) \n\n**Format:**\n\nThis online workshop will take place over two five-hour sessions. You must attend bot h sessions as they build on one another. Expert trainers will introduce ne w topics and guide you through hands-on activities to help you put your ne w skills into action.\n\n**Learning outcomes:**\n\nBy the end of the works hop you should be able to:\n\n1. Download example genomic data\n2. Use the PCAdapt tool to identify outlier loci within a genome.\n3. Use VCFtools t o identify outlier SNPs in pairwise population comparisons.\n4. Use Bayesc an and Baypass to identify outlier SNPs based on allele frequencies across multiple populations.\n5. Use Baypass to identify SNPs that are related t o phenotype (GWAS)\n6. Compare the results of the different methods and di scuss the results.\n\n**Who the workshop is for:**\n\nThis workshop is for researchers associated with an Australian organisation and/or members of the Genetics Society of AustralAsia who will use genetic selection analysi s as part of their projects. \n\nThis workshop requires you to have:\n\n1. Some familiarity with biological concepts\, including the concept of sele ction. \n2. Basic command line (bash) knowledge. You must know how to navi gate the directory structure and copy files between the computers. If you need a refresher on Unix/Linux try[ this online tutorial](https://linuxjou rney.com/lesson/the-shell).\n3. Basic knowledge of R. You must know how to set up directories\, run commands\, reading in and outputting files. If you need a refresher on R try the[ Introduction to R and RStudio section]( https://swcarpentry.github.io/r-novice-gapminder/01-rstudio-intro.html) of this online tutorial.\n\n**How to apply:**\n\n**_[Apply here](https://gen etic-outliers.eventbrite.com.au/)_**\n\nThis workshop is free but particip ation is subject to application with selection. \n\nApplications close at 11:59pm AEDT\, Friday 9 February 2024.\n\nApplications will be reviewed by the organising committee and all applicants will be informed of the statu s of their application (successful\, waiting list\, unsuccessful) after th e closing date. More information on the selection process is provided in o ur[ advice on applying for Australian BioCommons workshops.](https://www.b iocommons.org.au/workshop-applications)\n\n_This workshop is presented by the[ Australian BioCommons](https://www.biocommons.org.au/) and the[ Genet ics Society of AustralAsia](https://genetics.org.au/) with the assistance of a network of facilitators from the national[ Bioinformatics Training Co operative](https://www.biocommons.org.au/training-cooperative)._\n\n_This event is part of a series of[ bioinformatics training events](https://www. biocommons.org.au/events).
