organisms. The course will comprise a series of lectures and hands-on practicals on the basics of
programming in R, analysis of genome wide association and microarray data, and how to explore
and utilise biological information from public databases. All course materials will be provided
before commencement.

Due to the restricted availability of placements in the course to about 30 people, expressions of
interest (EOI) are being sought from interested parties. Your EOI should be sent to Assoc. Prof
Silvana Gaudieri at
[email protected] by the 11th May 2012 and should include: your
name and level of study or position, the name of your research group, affiliation and full contact
details plus a brief description (50 words or less) of why this course will be useful to your research.
Selected individuals will be notified within a week of the submission date with payment due by the
18th of May 2012. Payment can be made by cheque (payable to the “University of Western
Australia”) or by IFT form (addressed to Mr Max Hutchens, M309). Participants are expected to
