Introductory course on GeneChip®Exon 1.0 ST & NGS microRNA data analysis 
Feb 2011
In association with Affymetrix®, the Bioinformatics and Genomics Unit 
(B&Gu), is pleased to invite you to a workshop on
the analysis of whole-transcript expression arrays and sequencing data:
Introductory course on GeneChip®Exon 1.0 ST & NGS microRNA data analysis
(http://www.bioinformatica.unito.it/exon.array.course.html)
Date:         23-25th February 2011
Location:     Torino, Italy
If you are a biologist new to whole-transcript expression arrays and 
next generation sequencing (NGS) data,
this three day, hands-on workshop will enable you to :
i) Apply basic statistical tests to analyse expression data from  Exon 
1.0 ST arrays  and NGS data to quantify microRNAs.
ii) Analyse expression data at both the gene- and exon-level to detect 
alternative splicing
iii) Detect putative microRNA targets by integrating microRNA and gene 
expression data.

R-coding skills and knowledge of statistics is not necessary for 
attendance,
however, the course is ideal for those who have a basic knowledge of 
microarray technology.

The course is organized by the B&Gu and supported by Affymetrix.
All registration and course queries can be answered by the Course 
Secretariat, Prof. Raffaele A. Calogero.
