Dates:
August 26 - September 1, 2002
Organisers:
Andres Metspalu, Ph.D., M.D.; Head of
the Department of Biotechnology, University of Tartu,
Estonia (chair of the committee)
Ants Kurg, Ph.D., Docent of the Department
of Biotechnology, University of Tartu, Estonia
Maris Väli, Project Manager, Estonian
Biocentre, Estonia
Background:
Researches need an effective and affordable technology
for genotyping or mutation analysis. Primer extension
based technologies have obtained a leadership position
in the SNP scoring field in MIT, Affymetrix, Orchid
BioSciences et al. In addition, many academic laboratories
are using them extensively. This event is a practical
training course on the use of the arrayed primer extension
technology (APEX) for DNA resequencing, mutation analysis
and SNP based genotyping. The crucial question here
is about the type of solid phase to be used and this
course will demonstrate the use of glass slide supports.
Following the practical course will be a lecture series
focused on theoretical aspects of SNP-based genotyping
and LD calculation and also other technical platforms
of genotyping (MS, ASO minisequencing, microbeads, etc.)
Venue:
Practical training (August 26 - 30, 2002) will be organised
on the premises of the Molecular and Cell Biology Institute
of the University of Tartu and the Estonian Biocentre.
The 1.5 days lecture course "Theory and Different
Practical Methods of Genotyping" (August 31 - September
1, 2002) will be held in the hotel conference facilities
in Tartu, where the invited speakers
will be covering different practical methods of genotyping.
