A ten-day workshop taking place between 25 February - 6 March 2014 providing detailed hands-on training for population and meta-genomics analysis for researchers with little or no background in mathematics or computing.

Venue: Dartington Hall, Totnes, Devon (nearest train station - Totnes)

Times: 25 February - 6th March 2014.

Arrival evening of Tuesday 25 February 2014. Departure morning of 6th March 2014. The course itself will take place 9am-12pm, 2pm-5pm and on some evenings 7pm-10pm everyday 26 February-5th March. Students are expected to attend the entire course.

Contact: research-events@exeter.ac.uk

Registration

The course itself is free of charged and is funded by a Professional Postgraduate Development Award from NERC.

A total of 30 funded places are available which cover the costs of accommodation and food, but not the cost of transportation to/from the venue.

An additional 10 places are available for participants from industry. The cost of accommodation and meals will need to be covered by the participants.

You should register your interest by 31 December 2013. Participants will be informed by 10th January 2014 as to whether they have been selected. Please note that preference will be given to researchers funded by NERC.

To use the UNIX versions, unzip and untar the files in an appropriate directory using

gunzip filename.tar.gz; tar xvf filename.tar

where "filename.tar.gz" is the downloaded file. Winzip will unzip the Windows version. Run the program by typing

./distruct

in UNIX or

distruct

from a Dos prompt in Windows. It will produce a figure using the data that are represented in the Central/South Asia K=5 plot in Science 298: 2381-2385 (2002).

Please send comments or problems with distruct to Noah Rosenberg.

October 15, 2014 — Users of Distruct may also find CLUMPP and CLUMPAK of interest.

The real bioinformatics scope lies if there are research labs which work in this field. One has to take account of that. If so then try to get information of those labs and visit them to get a hang of the work they pursue.

There is a huge buzz of precision medicine in light of genomics all around the world. One should also try to see how genomics infrastructure is built up or standing in Pakistan. If research labs having collaboration with hospitals employ genomics then one must also visit such labs. This will bring new avenues in healthcare advances. Not only it opens up the wealth of knowledge one can make out of genomics study but will also advance the critical thinking of therapies.

So I would encourage to target research labs working in the fields and also get information of hospitals employing genomics, this will give you an overall understanding of the fields demand in your country.
