The 1000 Genomes Project Tutorials at ASHG 2012

The 1000 Genomes Project has released the sequence data and an integrated set of variants, genotypes, and haplotypes for the 1092 samples in the phase 1 set, and the sequence data for the phase 2 set. This tutorial describes the data sets, how to access them, and how to use them. During the ASHG annual meeting the 1000 Genomes Consortium organized an interesting sets of tutorial on how to access, use and analyze the data produced.

The topics being covered are:

3. (15 min talk, 3 min questions) Structural variants -- Ryan Mills [slides]
4. (15 min talk, 3 min questions) Population genetic and admixture analyses – Eimear Kenny [slides]
5. (15 min talk, 3 min questions) Functional analyses – Ekta Khurana [slides]
6. (15 min talk, 3 min questions) How to use the data in disease studies -- Stephan Ripke
