Introduction: The analysis of DNA variations, including Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), is a standard research approach to understand causes of disease, in particular the so-called “complex” diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer, Alzheimer disease, etc. The field is changing fast with large scale projects (Human genome, dbSNP, HapMap, 1000genomes, ENCODE) and novel technology being continuously introduced, including Next Generation Sequencing.
Aim: The aim of this course is to give a broad introduction in SNP techniques and applications.
Target audience: The course is primarily organized for PhD students and postdocs of the Erasmus Postgraduate School Molecular Medicine, NIHES, MGC and other research schools. Other participants, e.g., scientists, students, and technicians from other universities in- and outside Netherlands are also welcome. The total number of participants is limited to 75.
