GeneMappers Noticeboard
This noticeboard grew out of
the 2002 Australian
Twin Registry (ATR) and
Australasian
Human Gene Mapping Meeting (GeneMappers)
Registration List, to which I was asked to circulate a few messages.
Feedback
from a number of registrants indicated a 'bulletin board' would be
useful.
Consequently, this page has been set up to list job advertisements,
conference
announcements, talks, etc. Furthermore, besides from generally helping
us all keep in touch and distribute interesting information, it may be
able to facilitate discussion between groups on specific topics.
Please feel free to email
me (daleN@qimr.edu.au)
any relevant messages you'd like posted.

Monday
through Friday November
7-11, 2005
An
advanced gene mapping
course will be held at the GSF in Munich from Monday through
Friday,
November 7-11, 2005. Please note: this course was previously
called
the advanced linkage course and was held in Zurich, the name has been
changed
to reflect the expanded scope of the course in the past few years.

for individuals from private (for profit) companies. This fee covers
tuition,
course related expenses (handouts, etc.) and the social evening but not
room and board .
The
maximum number of participants
is 20. Emphasis in this course is on the analysis of complex
disease
traits. It will include theory as well as practical
exercises.
The exercises will be carried out using a variety of computer programs
(ALLEGRO, GENEHUNTER, MERLIN, SNPHAP, PBAT, FBAT, R, etc). TOPICS
include: sibpair analysis (quantitative and qualitative traits);
non-parametric
methods for analyzing extended family pedigree data; haplotype
construction;
association studies (case-control and family
based);
and sample
size estimations. The organizers of this course are Suzanne Leal
and Tim Strom (GSF). The instructors for the course are: Goncalo
Abecasis
(University of Michigan), David Clayton (Cambridge University), Heather
Cordell (Cambridge University), Christoph Lange (Harvard University),
Suzanne

Re: "SNPs
in the Asia-Pacific
Region"
On
Tuesday, September 23,
Queensland Institute of Medical Research (where SEQUENOM is located)
will
host a one-day scientific meeting entitled "SNPs in the Asia-Pacific
Region".
The aim is to encourage exchange of scientific (as opposed to
technical)
information on projects using SNP typing in the region. This is being
convened
by Professor Nick Martin, head of the Genetic Epidemiology Group at
QIMR.
Please e-mail him (nickM@qimr.edu.au) immediately to indicate your
interest
in attending
this
meeting. He will shortly
call for abstracts. There will be no registration fee.
