04 Jun '12

Please excuse us for cross or duplicated messages ANNOUNCEMENT / REMINDER BFG12 Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics using R and Bioconductor with Javier de las Rivas and Celia Fontanillo from Universidad de Salamanca (USAL), Salamanca, ES and Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: June 11th 2012 Notification of acceptance dates: EARLY: June 8th 2012 (on special request, see Application) NORMAL: June 14th 2012 Course date: June 18th to June 20th 2012 Course description: This is a practical course on Bioinformatics applied to analysis of Gene expression and Genomic data using mainly R and Bioconductor tools and algorithms. The course will focus in the use of robust methods to analyse microarray datasets, mainly from Affymetrix platform and from clinical-biomedical studies, integrating several strategies to achieve an optimum construction and analyses of gene expression profiles. The Course will be mostly practical using computers and prepared protocols. It will be divided in three major sessions: 1. Gene Expression Profiling. Microarrays genome-wide expression data integration, normalization, gene-based signal calculation, differential expression (using different algorithms: SAM, Bayesian and Limma) and clustering. Databases that integrate gene signatures. 2. Classification and Prediction using genomic data. Application of machine learning techniques to the analysis of gene expression data to allow classification of different states or different diseases subtypes. Error calculations. Class-prediction using de novo samples. 3. Gene Functional Enrichment. Gene list functional annotation using tools for statistical enrichment based on multiple concurrent annotation. Application of algorithms that measure outcome and response to assign specific functions to gene expression datasets. Target Audience Researchers in Biology and Biomedical areas (PhD students, PostDocs or Senior) working with genomic and gene expression data or with gene lists in general, that what to learn useful and powerful tools and methods for bioinformatic analysis. Course Pre-requisites Basic familiarity with genomic data and bioinformatics data resources. Minimum familiarity with R (although most scripts and command lines will be provided with written tutorials). Futher details, including application instructions available at http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/BFG12/ thank you for your interest Pedro Fernandes GTPB Coordinator ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ Gtpb mailing list Gtpb(a)igc.gulbenkian.pt https://lists.igc.gulbenkian.pt/mailman/listinfo/gtpb
