[BBC] CORBEL: Data Visualisation for Biology

[Alexander Botzki]

Data Visualisation for Biology: a practical workshop on design, techniques and tools 30th Jan - 3rd Feb 2017, EMBL-EBI Application deadline: Friday, 11th November 2016 http://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/events/2017/data-visualisation-biology-practical-workshop-design-techniques-and-tools

As biological datasets increase in size and complexity, we are moving more and more from an hypothesis-driven research paradigm to a data-driven one. As a result, exploration of that data has become even more crucial than in the past.

In this 5-day workshop, we will dive into the topic of biological data visualization and how it can be used to gain insight in and get a "feel" 
for a dataset, so that targeted analyses can be defined. We will start by covering theoretical questions like: What is data visualization? How do we perceive images? How can we visualise data in the best possible way? As the workshop continues, it will become more and more hands-on and interactive; a large part will be committed to creating visualisations using the P5 javascript library, based on biological data. In the workshop, we will focus on omics (e.g. genomics,
transcriptomics) data rather than e.g. imaging data.

This course is in association with CORBEL and KU Leuven
