We’re back for another year!
We’d first like to thank the McGill Department of Human Genetics, and its chair Dr. Shoubridge, for renewing their sponsorship for another year.
Speakers: Guillaume Huguet and Catherine Schramm
Talk Title: Establishing a link between CNVs and IQ
Abstract:
Guillaume will be establishing the link between copy-number variants and general intelligence in unselected populations.
It’s a fascinating subject.
Time will unfortunately be limited for such a vast subject, but it will be interesting to have a debate about what links can be established between genomic data, and intelligence in the general population.
Speaker: Thomas Rademaker
Talk Title: Untangling the hairball: fitness based asymptotic reduction of biological networks
Abstract:
You can read more about Thomas research in his recently published article: https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.06300
Speaker: Mathieu Lajoie
Talk Title: R tutorial
Abstract:
Mathieu’s R tutorial will be covering the following subjects.
1) Recovering multi-nucleotide variants from incorrectly processed NGS data.
2) Converting variants to a different genome build.
