MICROARRAY ANALYSIS WORKSHOP - July 9,
10 & 11
MODULE 1 -
Monday and Tuesday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm and
Wednesday,
8:30 - 1:30 pm, Room 232 Ackert Hall
(Registration fee includes Lunch each day)
Instructors: Gregory C. Gibson & Stan Martin,
North Carolina State
University
This course will introduce students to the theory and practice of
microarray-based gene expression profiling. It will include lectures
on basic statistics for biologists, fundamentals of expression
profiling, statistical fundamentals for microarray datasets, and
experimental design. The workshop will include demonstrations of
data analysis using the SAS/JMP Genomics software suite as well as
R/Bioconductor open source software. Participants will walk through
two examples on their own computers. Time will be devoted to
discussions of students’ own data analysis problems. Finally, quick
reviews of the latest applications of gene expression profiling in
ecology and evolutionary biology will be provided. Computers will be
furnished for the hands-on portion of the workshop.
Registration fee includes all conference materials and lunch each
day: $75.
A Field Guide to GenBank and NCBI
Molecular BiologY Resources -
Thursday, July 12
MODULE 2 - 8:30 am to 11:30
Big 12 Room, K-State Union
11:30-1:00 Lunch in the Bluemont Room
(included in registration)
Hands-On Sessions: 1:00-3:00 and
3:00-5:00 in Room 219 Ackert
Instructor: Steve Pechous, Nat'l Center for Biotechnology Info
(NCBI),
NLM, NIH
Molecular sequence databases and computational biology tools are an
important part of nearly all areas of biological and biomedical
research. A Field Guide to GenBank and NCBI Molecular Biology
Resources, will include both lecture and hands-on computer
components. Students will learn how to apply resources in their
specific research area. The course provides practical information
about GenBank, RefSeq and the integrated genome resources, as well
as the other databases maintained at the NCBI. It will also provide
instruction on effective use of Entrez and BLAST, the two main
database search tools. Both experienced and novice users of the NCBI
tools and resources will benefit from attending this workshop.
Computers will be furnished for the hands-on portion of the
workshop.
Registration fee includes all conference materials and lunch: $20.
