CGRW01
13 July 2010 to 16 July 2010
This tutorial session precedes a research workshop on genome resequencing starting in the afternoon at the Isaac Newton Institute. The tutorial session is self-contained and open to all, including individuals not registered for the research workshop. The aim of the tutorial session is to provide an introduction to resequencing data, some experimental techniques that exploit new sequencing technologies, and statistical and computational issues in interpreting the data. It is intended principally for those new to the field at the PhD or early RA level, some familiarity with genetics and genomics will be helpful. No advance registration is required and there is no charge to attend.
Please note that the Tutorial Sessions are seperate from the main Workshop and will take place at The Centre for Mathematical Sciences (CMS), adjacent to the Isaac Newton Institute.
Cheap, fast, sequencing platforms now allow near-complete genome sequences to be quickly and affordably obtained from individual members of any species. The DNA sequences of individual humans, their pathogens and model organisms will have an enormous impact on population genetics and evolutionary theory, as well as on epidemiology, particularly our understanding of infectious disease.
The motivation for the workshop is to bring together leading mathematical and biological researchers in an interdisciplinary environment to discuss the mathematical, statistical and computational challenges that lie ahead. We plan to discuss the most pressing open problems and the most promising avenues of future research necessary to deliver the full benefits of genome resequencing.
The workshop will consist of invited talks and contributed posters, as well as some social activities and opportunities for informal discussions. We plan to organise an introductory tutorial session on the Tuesday monrning, details to be confirmed. The topics for the invited talks will cover basecalling, sequence assembly, and mapping; imputation and inference of relatedness; cancer genomics and methylation; CNV/indels, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and pathogens.
The mathematical techniques involved will be wide-ranging, including statistical and machine-learning techniques for high-dimensional classification and regression, as well as techniques from signal processing and various mathematical models of population genetics and evolutionary processes.

INI is a creative collaborative space which is occupied by up to fifty-five mathematical scientists at any one time (and many more when there is a workshop). Some of them may not have met before and others may not realise the relevance of other research to their own work.
INI is especially important as a forum where early-career researchers meet senior colleagues and form networks that last a lifetime.
Here you can learn about all activities past, present and future, watch live seminars and submit your own proposals for research programmes.
Within this section of the website you should find all the information required to arrange and plan your visit to the Institute. If you have any further questions, or are unable to find the information you require, please get in touch with the relevant staff member or our Reception team via our contact pages.
INI and its programme participants produce a range of publications to communicate information about activities and events, publish research outcomes, and document case studies which are written for a non-technical audience. You will find access to them all in this section.
The Isaac Newton Institute aims to maximise the benefit of its scientific programmes to the UK mathematical science community in a variety of ways.
Whether spreading research opportunities through its network of correspondents, offering summer schools to early career researchers, or hosting public-facing lectures through events such as the Cambridge Festival, there is always a great deal of activity to catch up on.
Find out about all of these endeavours in this section of the site.
There are various ways to keep up-to-date with current events and happenings at the Isaac Newton Institute. As detailed via the menu links within this section, our output covers social media streams, news articles, a regular podcast series, an online newsletter, and more detailed documents produced throughout the year.
“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”
The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.
INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
For INI’s knowledge exchange arm, please see the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
The Institute depends upon donations, as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes.
Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.
Visit this section to learn more about how you could play a part in supporting INI’s groundbreaking research.
In this section you can find contact information, staff lists, maps and details of how to find INI’s main building in Cambridge.
Our administrative staff can help you with any queries regarding a prospective or planned visit. If you would like to discuss a proposed a research programme or other event, our senior management team will be happy to help.
