Announcing Workshop: R2 - Genomics analysis and visualization platform
by r2-support 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

Dear Researcher, R2 is a free, publicly accessible web-based genomics analysis and visualization platform (http://r2.amc.nl<http://r2.amc.nl/>) allowing biomedical researchers, without bioinformatics training, to integrate clinical and genomics data. The R2 platform serves nearly 2.000.000 pages a year and has been cited in PubMed listed manuscripts over 1024 times, including Nature and Cell. To help researchers get started, the department of Oncogenomics is organizing a 1 day introduction workshop with hands-on training on Monday October 28th 2019 (09:00-17:30). The workshop will cover the essentials of working with omics data in R2 and will be an excellent opportunity to learn how to use this versatile platform. If you are: * Studying a specific pathway in disease * Trying to find biomarkers in specific tissue * Investigating the function of a specific protein * Involved in any kind of molecular biology Then this workshop may be of interest to you... Every participant will receive a printed tutorial book. Coffee / tea and a simple lunch will be provided during the workshop. If you are interested in participating in the workshop then please visit the R2 website for more information and registration (http://hgserver1.amc.nl/cgi-bin/r2/main.cgi?option=about_intro_workshop) The workshop is provided free of charge, however, we will have to charge 25 euro (for administration, lunch, printing costs) in case of a no show on the workshop. Kind Regards, The R2-support Team ________________________________ AMC Disclaimer : https://www.amc.nl/disclaimer ________________________________
