- How to evaluate an experiment?
- Visualization of NGS data
- Variant Filtering 
- Variant Prioritization
- Inheritance filtering: Mendelian Models
- Recessive and X-linked diseases 
- Dominant diseases: families and trios 
- Gene Prioritization 
- Gene Prioritization 
- Incidental findings in exome analysis
- Incidental findings 
- Clinical interpretation: the thin red line between research and diagnostics 
- Practical workshop on puzzling cases 

As a result of training participants gained useful information and knowledge on how to work with NGS and interpret the results which will be important part of their future work.
