Variant calling: introduction

[azzaea]

Alsalam alikm..

I hope this finds you in the best of states..

h1. General plan:
Each other week we would be posting papers, tools, or methods relating to the chosen theme, and discuss that paper in depth for 1 hour. A moderator (or a group of moderators) will be assigned each time for each session, who will mainly direct the discussion to be of value...

The time of these meetings will be each other Wednesday (twice a month, starting this week, 17/8/2016), from 03:00 to 04:00
Our theme of choice for this quarter of the year (up till November/December) is the topic of variant calling.

h1. This session:
For this session, 3 suggested papers for the time being are (1 and 2 are somewhat old, so we could change!):

1. Computational and bioinformatics frameworks for next-generation whole exome and genome sequencing: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23365548
2. Review of current methods, applications, and data management for the bioinformatics analysis of whole exome sequencing: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25288881
3. Systematic comparison of variant calling pipelines using gold standard personal exome variants: http://www.nature.com/articles/srep17875

Moderators for this session are Rehab Ahmed and Azza Ahmed.

Please feel free to suggest papers, tools, methods or any other input will be of high value...

Hope to see you in the lab, or on-line via: https://mconf.sanren.ac.za/webconf/study_group!

fi aman Allah,
Azza
