28 November-3 December 2010 KEMRI/Wellcome Trust Research Programme, Kilifi, Kenya Deadline for applications: 27 August 2010 Course overview Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have become a powerful tool for obtaining clues to the genetics of resistance and susceptibility to disease. There is growing interest among medical researchers in Africa in applying these new methodologies to gain a better understanding of common diseases that affect African populations. This course aims to describe the key aspects of GWAS to enable participants to perform analyses in their own research. To do so, we will cover both theoretical and practical issues of genetic epidemiology via association analysis, illustrating particular concepts with examples from recent studies in Type 2 Diabetes, Malaria and Obesity. The outline of the course will follow the experimental process; starting with an introduction to the population genetics and its relevance to study design, through to data collection and analysis, and on to interpreting and following up results. Particular emphasis will be placed on the use of publically available resources (such as HapMap, 1000 genomes and dbGAP) and the benefits of collaborative research. Each topic will involve a lecture and a computer practical, using freely available software. Course Programme Population genetics and association studies Patterns of diversity in natural populations and underlying molecular processes. Linkage disequilibrium and ancestry. Differences between populations and its consequences for GWAS. Study design and exploiting population cohorts The GWAS approach and its power to detect genetic effects. Choice of commercially available genotyping products and study individuals. Choice of control individuals. Integrating GWAS into epidemiological and cohort studies. Data quality and basic association analysis Genotype calling and quality control. Simple tests for association and performing a genome-wide scan. Interpreting evidence for association and identify regions of interest. Controlling for confounding effects Tools for investigating possible population structure and relatedness within study individuals. Methods for correcting for confounding effects. Comparing data to existing collections. Follow up analysis Replicating signals of association. Options for functional studies. Trans-ethnic fine-mapping. Exploiting whole genome sequence information. Imputation, meta-analysis and data sharing. Course Organisers

Evimalar is a joint research FP7 Network of Excellence, funded by the European Commission and currently involving 42 partners from 33 institutes in Europe, Africa, India and Australia (co-ordinated at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK). It seeks to integrate malaria research that is directed towards a better understanding of the basic knowledge of the parasite, its vector and of the biology of the interactions between the parasite and both its mammalian host and vectors. This project started in 1st October 2009 and is currently funded until 30 September 2014. The research interests of the network are summarised on the web site where further details of how to apply may also be found (www.evimalar.org).
