[Patrick Aboyoun]

Robert Gentleman and his team are pleased to announce a new training 
course titled "Intermediate Bioconductor:  Analyzing Microarray and 
Sequencing Experiments" to be held in Seattle, WA USA 21-23 January 
2009. This course is targeted to end users who want to learn more about 
Bioconductor tools for analyzing microarray and sequencing experiments. 
During lectures and hands-on labs, attendees will be presented material on:

1. The basics of R and Bioconductor
2. Microarray data analysis in Bioconductor

    * Microarray data framework within Biocondcutor
    * Quality assurance of microarray data
    * Normalizing microarray data
    * Finding differential expression in microarray data
    * Performing Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) using microarray data
    * Incorporating metadata in microarray data analysis

3. Sequence data analysis in Bioconductor

    * Sequence data framework within Biocondcutor
    * Quality assurance of short genomic reads using Bioconductor
    * Annotated genomes within Bioconductor
    * Exact and fuzzy string matching/aligning in Bioconductor
    * Graphical displays of ChIP-seq data in Bioconductor
