Chemical and Biological resources for Toxicology and Toxicogenomics (diXa)
Course - Cambridge, United Kingdom
The 3 day diXa course will give participants an overview of the chemical and biological resources that are available for researchers in the field of Toxicology and Toxicogenomics. The course is aimed at researchers and scientists from academia as well as Industry with an interest in toxicology, toxicogenomics and life sciences.
The first part introduces EBI resources ChEMBL, Ensembl, PDBe and ArrayExpress with use cases specifically chosen to be relevant to the toxicology and toxicogenomics community e.g. cross-species homology, comparisons, structure similarity, function prediction.
The second part of the course provides an introduction to the diXa project, demonstration of the capabilities of the diXa data warehouse, and a workflow based demonstration of Quality control and data cross checking; starting from downloading data to performing a quality assessment of the raw data, methods to condense data, annotating the experiments, how to normalize and/or transform the data, through to performing adequate statistical tests and interpreting results using GO annotations and/or pathway annotations using ConsensuPathDb. Additionally the course will feature presentations from the research groups of the diXa project.
