The aim of this workshop is to provide an integrated view of biological network construction and integration, constraint-based modelling, multi-omics integration through Machine Learning, and data-driven hypothesis generation. A general description of different methods for analysing different omics data (e.g. transcriptomics and genomics) will be presented with some of the lectures discussing key methods in their integration. The techniques will be discussed in terms of their rationale and applicability, with a particular focus on possible confounding factors. The course will also include hands-on sessions and invited speaker seminars.
Some of the covered topics include:
Further details about the course content may be found on the course homepage at https://nbisweden.github.io/workshop_omics_integration/ .
The course is aimed at M.Sc., PhD- or postdoc-level researchers with basic programming experience (e.g. R, Python, Matlab). We will not discuss how to process the raw omics data and the students are referred to other NBIS courses for this matter (http://nbis.se/ training/events.html).
Required
Basic programming experience in either R, Python, UNIX/Bash, or Matlab
Basic understanding of frequentist statistics
Ability to bring your own laptop with R, Python and Matlab installed for the practical exercises
Desirable
Experience with analysis of omic data (e.g. metabolomics, proteomics, transcriptomics) and NGS analysis
Differential expression/abundance analysis
Completing NBIS courses “Introduction to Bioinformatics using NGS data”
A course fee of 2000 SEK will be invoiced to accepted participants. This includes lunches, coffee, snacks and course dinner. Please note that NBIS cannot invoice individuals.
