This workshop is suitable for postdocs and graduate students who would like to learn annotation of genomic variants using ANNOVAR software suite, one of the most widely used whole genome annotation tools (cited in over 2200 publications). Some knowledge in this field is required to participate in this workshop. The workshop will consist of a lecture followed by demo demonstrations to cover the following topics:

• Clinical diagnostics using whole genome sequencing and exome sequencing;
• Overview of ANNOVAR for functional annotation of genomic variants;
• Deme of ANNOVAR scripts;
• Additional notes for genomic variant calling and annotation.

Please note that the workshop will last for 1 hour, and all the participants are recommended to bring their own laptop computers for hands-on practice. Refreshment will be provided.
