As part of the NHLBI PGA's Education Program, Seattle SNPs holds a two-day Variation Discovery Workshop twice a year. The workshop is an introduction to the discovery and use of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) as markers for genetic studies. This workshop features hands-on exercises using data produced by the SeattleSNPs PGA. This course includes sections on the use of human genome sequence databases, annotation of baseline (reference) sequence data, PCR primer selection and methods for SNP discovery, sequencing methods, and the practical application of many software tools needed for SNP discovery. In addition, a series of short lectures will cover approaches to candidate gene studies, an introduction to population genetics principles, the analysis and use of haplotypes, and the selection and use of polymorphic markers for genotype-phenotype analysis. The variation workshop focuses on the latest approaches for identifying SNPs and evaluating associations and linkage disequilibrium with other genetic markers. Small group discussions and computer demonstrations are used to demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches.
A unique feature of our workshop is that attendees are able to submit candidate genes for variation analysis using SeattleSNP resources. We plan to accept up to five genes (average size 25 kb) a year from workshop participants.
Workshop participants are also actively involved in data analysis, using internal and external software tools to find and type SNPs either in candidate genes which are currently being sequenced by SeattleSNPs or on genes they have submitted for analysis to the resource.
