Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops has developed a 2.5-day course covering the bioinformatics concepts and tools available for interpreting a gene list using pathway and network information. The workshop focuses on the principles and concepts required for analyzing and conducting pathway and network analysis on a gene list from any organism, although focus will be on human and model eukaryotic organisms.
Specifically, we will focus on:
1) getting more information about a gene list;
2) discovering what pathways are enriched in a gene list (and using it for hypothesis generation);
3) finding out how a set of genes is connected by e.g. protein interactions and identifying pathways, systems and modules within this network;
4) predicting gene function and extending a gene list;
5) identifying master regulators, such as transcription factors, active in the experiment.
We will develop a unified analysis flow chart throughout the course that students will be able to follow after the workshop to conduct their own analysis.
The workshop will be held June 13 - June 15, 2016 in Toronto, Ontario. For more information and to apply, please visit the workshop website.
