2013 EMBO Practical Course - Bioinformatics and statistics for large-scale data

Course - Shenzhen, China

This international advanced course will provide training on bioinformatics and statistics methods for genomic research. It will give insight into how biological knowledge can be generated from high-throughput sequencing (DNA-Seq, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq) experiments and will illustrate how to analyze such data. The course covers both the underlying statistical and algorithmic concepts, and the practice of how to automate and code such analyses using the scripting language R.

SPECIFIC TOPIC AREAS INCLUDE:

DNA variant calling
■differential expression
■quality control
■statistical significance tests and multiple testing, pathway enrichment analyses
■clustering and classification (machine learning)
■working with genome annotation
■using R and Bioconductor
