[BioC] Training course at EBI, Cambridge, UK, Feb 1-5

[Wolfgang Huber]

Microarray & high throughput sequencing data analysis with Bioconductor

This course consists of lectures and hands-on labs. Days 1 to 4 will 
focus on all aspects of the data analysis of microarray experiments 
including preprocessing, quality assessment, differential expression, 
machine learning, etc. Additional talks will address genotyping and 
image analysis applications. Day 5 will cover the analysis of high 
throughput sequencing data, focusing on RNA-seq and ChIP-seq as well as 
the crucial aspects of HTS data management.

Participants are expected to have some familiarity and experience with 
programming languages, preferably R, as well as with genomic data 
handling. A basic understanding of the statistical and computational 
issues associated with microarray and HTS data analysis will be beneficial.

What will it cover?

     * Normalization and pre-processing.
     * Differential expression.
     * Probe design and annotation.
     * Genotyping, Phenotyping and Image Analysis.
     * Quality assessment, Data Management.
     * Presentation and Hands On Learning.
