DAY 0 (11 th January 2019) Venue: ACTREC-TMC KS Conference Rm 9:00 am 8:00 pm Hands on Cancer Bioinformatics for NGS Data Analysis: a Primer for Clinicians Despite wider acceptance of comprehensive profiling of cancer patient using next-generation sequencing for clinical application, the hurdle of genomic analysis for clinical utilization remains one of the major blockage for the clinicians.this one-day workshop is primarily aimed to introdue key applications of cancer genomics, along with the analytical methods used in identification of clinically relevant mutations and disease sub-type specific gene expression patterns. Further, participants will be also introduced to a complementary application of NGS datasets for the discovery of pathogens. In particular, the participants would be introduce ClinOme an easy to use clinical cancer genomics analysis and reporting tool for identification of therapeutically relevant genomics alterations and pathogenic infections. ClinOme integrates standard line of treatment recommendation and clinical annotations from various sources and provides a comprehensive genetic diagnosis report from next generation sequencing data. This easy to use graphical user interface widens the utility of ClinOme for biologists and clinicians without computational expertise. This one-day cancer informatics hands-on workshop would emphasize on the following: 1. Whole transcriptome analysis to identify molecular sub-classes of different tumor types Quantification of transcripts from RNA-seq data using alignment and/or quasi-alignment based methods Processing, normalization of gene/ transcript counts and its use to identify differentially expressed genes Clustering of samples for identification of disease sub-type classes from expression datasets 2. Clinome: an automated computational tool to identify clinically relevant therapeutic alterations Generation of variants from the whole genome, exome and targeted sequencing data (primary, secondary, tertiary analysis of DNA sequencing data) Filtration and annotation of variants with germline variant databases, like TMC-SNPdb, ExAC and dbsnp Clinically relevant variant calling and automated clinical report generation 3. Discovery and tumor association of pathogens associated with cancer using NGS datasets Computational subtraction methods and HPV identification using HPVDetector Cancer associated pathogen discovery using Cancer Pathogen Detector Application of pathogen discovery to complement traditional genomic analysis The 20 selected participants would require bringing their own laptop. The minimum recommended specifications are as follows: 1024x768 screen resolution, 1.5GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, 10GB free disk space, and a recent version of Windows, Mac OS X or Linux operating systems.
