Spring  2010 Cedars-Sinai Genomics Education Series

  • New technologies from the Genomic's core and what they mean to your research (3/24/10)

  • Spring genomics education series:  Announcements coming soon.

Recommended upcoming off-site training

  • Microarray Analysis with R & Bioconductor

Date: Fri, March 5, 2010 (2:00am - 5:00pm)
Location: 1208 Genomics, UC Riverside
Instructor: Thomas Girk

Maximum number of participants: 20

Description: The statistics software R and the associated BioConductor project have become the "gold standard" for the analysis of dual color microarrays and Affymetrix chips. The environment integrates the most advanced analysis tools that are currently available for profiling data. All software components are freely available for all operating systems. This workshop will cover the following topics: (1) data import/export, (2) background correction and normalization procedures for Affymetrix and cDNA arrays, (3) array quality inspection, (4) identification of differentially expressed genes, (4) visualization of genomic information, (5) overview on clustering methods and (6) Gene Ontology (GO) analysis. Basic knowledge of the R software, as introduced in the previous tutorial "Introduction into R", will be expected in this workshop.
