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.</p><hr><h3 id="prerequisites"><strong>Prerequisites:</strong></h3><p>This is one of our advanced <a href="https://hbctraining.github.io/main/">workshops</a>, and assumes that users have a working knowledg of Shell and HPC or have attended the following Basic workshop offered by our training team in the last 6-8 months:</p><ul><li><a href="https://hbctraining.github.io/main/registrations/AllFunders_Shell_for_Bioinformatics">Shell for Bioinformatics</a></li></ul><p>There is an expectation of participants to have some/all of the following Shell/HPC knowledge:</p><ul><li>Experience using a High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster environment (e.g. O2 at HMS)</li><li>Navigating filesystems (changing directories, listing contents, full/relative paths, wildcards)</li><li>Creating, moving, copying, and removing files/directories</li><li>Searching files and redirection</li><li>Creating ‘for loops’ and small scripts</li><li>Creating long, advanced script</li></ul><p>I am experienced using Shell/HPC but have not attended the HBC prerequisite workshop, can I still register?</p><p>Yes, please register and provide your Shell/HPC exerience on the form, and we’ll get back to you.</p>
