Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
R Code Clinic: Variant Annotation Using Bioconductor
Tuesday 10 March, 9:00 – 10:00 am
OxPop/BDI Seminar room 1
Facilitator – Dr. Ana-Marija Krizanac
This hands-on training session will introduce participants to variant annotation workflows using the Bioconductor project in R. The session will begin with an overview of key concepts in variant annotation, including genomic ranges, variant file formats, and commonly used annotation resources. Participants will afterwards work through practical examples using real-world data.
By the end of this course, you’ll have hands-on experience with:
Through guided coding exercises, participants will learn how to import and manipulate variant data, map variants to genes and genomic features, and enrich variant calls with biological and functional annotations using Bioconductor packages such as VariantAnnotation, GenomicRanges, and annotation databases. Emphasis will be placed on understanding Bioconductor data structures and applying reproducible workflows.
Pre requisite: Participants should ideally have basic familiarity with the R programming language; please bring your own device.
Pre-Course Preparation – software required – Rstudio, BiocManager should be installed prior to the session.
