by GTPB Administration 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

Course Announcement / Reminder ADER18F Analysis of Differential Expression with RNAseq (first course in 2018) with Daniel Sobral, Daniel Faria and Daniel Neves Keyterms: RNAseq The GTPB is proud to announce that the above referenced hands-on training course is open for applications Important dates IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: March 30th 2018 Course dates: April 9th - April 12th 2018 Admission: Candidates with adequate profile will be accepted in the next 72 hours after the application until we reach 20 participants. High-throughput technologies allow us to detect transcripts present in a cell or tissue. This course covers practical aspects of the analysis of differential gene expression by RNAseq. Participants will be presented with real world examples and work with them in the training room, covering all the steps of RNAseq analysis, from planning the gathering of sequence data to the generation of tables of differentially expressed gene lists and visualization of results. We we will also cover some of the initial steps of secondary analysis, such as functional enrichment of the obtained gene lists. Target Audiences Life Scientists who want to be able to use NGS data to evaluate gene expression (RNAseq). Computational researchers that wish to get acquainted with the concepts and methodologies used in RNAseq are also welcome. Participants are encouraged to bring their own data and will have the opportunity to apply the concepts learned in the course.

[Gtpb] ABSTAT18 Course announcement / reminder
by GTPB Administration 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

Course Announcement / Reminder ABSTAT18 Advanced Biostatistics for Bioinformatics Tool Users using R with Lisete Sousa and Carina Silva Keyterms: Simulation, Bayesian Inference, Hidden Markov Chains and Multivariate Data Analysis The GTPB is proud to announce that the above referenced hands-on training course is open for applications Important dates MPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: March 23rd 2018 Course date: April 3rd - April 6th 2018 Admission: Candidates with adequate profile will be accepted in the next 72 hours after the application until we reach 20 participants. This course is targeted for Biostatistical techniques often employed in analytical tools for high throughput data and multivariate data. Participants can expect to attend a thorough set of lectures that will reveal the conceptual frameworks that are needed to understand the methods. Extensive hands-on practice will be the main vehicle for providing the skills and user independence. To keep things in context, the course is exclusively based on biological examples. We will be using custom-built R scripts and packages that are available from the CRAN and/or Bioconductor repositories. Care has been taken not to use any proprietary data or software, so that the hands-on experience can carry on after the course, providing maximum user independence. Methodology This intensive course will introduce a relatively high number of concepts and methods. To keep it highly practical, we will spend most of the time in hands-on sessions. - We will focus on each method using examples taken from biological data. - We will then dissect the method, identifying the concepts and exploring their interrelationships. - The applicability and limitations of each method will be emphasized. - The use of the method will be illustrated using appropriate Bioinformatics tools and biological data resources.
