Join us for the 4th Genetics and Genomics Winter School (GGWS), an in-person event taking place from July 7th to 11th, 2025, at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. Our GGWS provides hands-on training in cutting-edge statistical and computational methods for genetic or genomic data analysis. There are 6 learning modules on offer, covering contemporary genetics subjects with a strong emphasis on practical exercises.

This course is suitable for individuals who:

• Work with genomic data and aim to enhance analytical skills with new methods and tools.
• Seek insights into the black box of statistical methods for genetics and genomics.
• Work in related fields requiring statistical analysis and have some knowledge in genetics.

Throughout the week, participants will gain knowledge in:

• State-of-the-art statistical methods/tools for analysing genetic and genomic data to address scientific research questions.
• Understanding of the data types and data properties.
• Practical usage of these methods/tools.
• Understanding the underlying mechanisms of these methods.
• Interpreting results effectively.
• Potential pitfalls, caveats, and limitations.
