1. LAMP for Biologists
LAMP
stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP (or Perl, or Python). This specific
combination of software is used together on more than two-thirds of the world's
web servers due to the fact that all the components are free, open source,
easily deployed, easily configurable and maintained with minimal effort. This
workshop will offer an introduction to the LAMP software bundle, and instruct
attendees on how deploy a simple bioinformatics web application that
dynamically interacts with a database. The workshop will emphasize the basic
starting points from which scientists can use LAMP in order to provide their
own bioinformatics tools and databases to the world via the web. - Duration: 3
hours
2009-06-09 14:00:00 (available seats: 24) - Countway Library, Room
403
2. Introduction and analysis of MicroRNAs
MicroRNAs
(miRNAs) are a growing class of small, noncoding RNAs (22-24nt) that regulate
gene expression by targeting mRNAs for translational repression, degradation,
or both. These molecules are emerging as important modulators in cellular
pathways such as growth and proliferation, apoptosis, and developmental timing.
Mutation, dysfunction, and/or dysregulation of miRNAs may give rise to diseases
such as coronary artery disease, cancer, diabetes, AIDS, hepatitis, and
obesity. In this introductory course participants will learn the latest
information about miRNA and the use of miRNA as a diagnostic tool. This
workshop will also teach researchers about miRNA quality analysis, RT-PCR,
quantification of miRNA and miRNA target prediction by bioinformatics analysis.
- Duration: 2 hours
2009-05-26 15:00:00 (available seats: 25) - Countway Library, Room 403
3. Biomedical Imaging Analysis
Use of
Image has significantly increased in the healthcare industry (both on clinical
side and research side). Due to this increase there has been a significant
increase the volume of data. The workshop/presentation will provide insight
into the questions like, what is an Image (TIFF, DICOM)? How should one handle
images? Focus will be on bioinformatics analysis including basic quality
control requirements non-clinical as well as clinical image data. Advanced
Image Analysis like segmentation concepts and registration will also be
covered. Audience: Anyone interested or working in imaging, image analysis
(people working with CT, MRI, PET images, histology, X-rays etc.). - Duration:
2.5 hours
2009-05-21 14:30:00 (available seats: 25) - Countway Library, Room
403
4. Expression analysis using GenePattern
GenePattern
is a powerful scientific workflow platform that provides access to more than
100 genomic analysis tools. A web-based interface provides easy access to tools
for gene expression analysis, proteomics, SNP analysis and common data
processing tasks. Through lectures and hands-on exercises, this workshop
introduces GenePattern and the methods behind the GenePattern modules for Gene
Expression Analysis, including: Running analyses using the GenePattern web
interface, differential gene expression analysis, classification/prediction
methods, clustering, using pipelines to chain modules together to create and
share methodologies. - Duration: 8 hours
