"Advanced analysis and informatics of microarrays data"


25th June - 1st July | 2006 | Hinxton |UK

 

Topics covered

  • Problems in microarray data analysis - an introduction

  • Advanced algorithms for microarray data analysis, including new normalisation methods and ordination based methods networks

  • Tools: TM4 and Expression Profiler

  • Bioconductor: quality metric and assessment, statistical modeling and inference, data integration, graphs and networks

  • Invited lectures

Outline

  • Lectures from distinguished speakers.

  • Presentations from the participants describing their research (in particular microarray based experiments that they have performed or are planning to perform)

  • Demonstration of DNA-array data analysis software and other relevant bioinformatics resources

  • Practical work in using the demonstrated software and resources to analyse either the participants own DNA-array data (preferably) or DNA-array data provided by the organisers

  • Final presentations from the participants discussing the data analysis results obtained during the practical session. Please prepare your presentation in a PowerPoint format and bring it on a CD or USB stick.

 

Preliminary Agenda

 

Sunday 25 June 2006
12.30 Meeting point at Homerton College Cambridge
12.30 - 13.30 Lunch
13.30 - Start of course

 

General Plan Monday 26 - Friday 30 June 2006
08.30 Bus from Homerton College to the
Wellcome Trust Conference Centre

09.00 Start - 18.00 Finish

Saturday 1 July
08.30 Bus from Homerton College to the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre
09.00 Start
12.30 - 13.30 Lunch and Finish

It is expected that there will be 7-8 lectures, each around 1 hour long (~15% of the total time of the course). The lectures will give insight into how biological knowledge can be generated from DNA-array experiments and ways of analyzing such data.

The software demonstrations will be given at the beginning of practical sessions and may continue during the practical sessions. The practical work will start in the afternoon of the first day and will finish a day before the end of the course, together with demonstrations taking around 50% of the time of the course. The last day will be devoted to the final presentations.
