Workshop description: This **In-Person** hands-on Variant Analysis workshop is aimed at providing best practices for calling variants for paired normal/tumor datasets. Importantly, while this workshop focuses on calling variants in the context of paired tumor/normal samples, much of this workshop’s pipeline and discussion is adaptable to other types of variant calling applications. This workshop will demonstrate to participants how to take raw sequence reads and process them into a VCF file with annotated variants. Furthermore, the workshop ends with a tutorial for visualizing called variants within the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) and creating figures using cBioPortal.
