The annual Computational Genomics Course will be held virtually June 23-27, 2025. Organized by the Mayo Clinic & Illinois Alliance for Technology-Based Healthcare, this one-week intensive course introduces participants to the basics of genomics and the tools and methodologies used to analyze genomic data.
Illinois and Mayo Clinic faculty will lecture and lead hands-on laboratory exercises. Computational Genomics course topics include Genome Assembly, RNA-Seq Analysis, Regulatory Genomics, Polymorphisms & Association Tests, Single Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics, and more. Variant Calling and Systems Biology content will be available on demand. Mayo Clinic instructors will focus on translational genomics topics related to Clinical Variant Interpretation, RNAseq in Hereditary Disease Diagnosis, and Single Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics. Both synchronous and self-paced lab exercises will be offered this year. Learn more from 2024 course participants about their experience.
No previous experience or knowledge of computational genomics or coding is required, though participants are encouraged to review tutorials for the software that will be used prior to the start of the course. The course is open to Mayo Clinic and Illinois faculty, staff, and students with applicable fees. Technical support is provided by the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology and the HPCBio Group from the Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
