Course in Multi-omic Integrative Analysis of Gene Expression

The Genomics of Gene Expression lab presents this course that aims to teach the students how to perform an integrative analysis of different omic data types in order to model the regulation of gene expression. To this end, we will first study in depth the pre-processing and statistical analysis of the different omic data types with a special focus on Next Generation Sequencing technologies such as RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, DNase-seq, and Methyl-seq, but also metabolomics or proteomics. Next, we will study several integration examples to cover different integration strategies. All these lectures will be complemented with hands-on sessions. R programming language will be mostly used. Finally, we will also have a longer practical session to recapitulate all the learned lessons by solving a real integration problem. For this last session, the students can analyze either their own data or the data provided by the organizers.

23th – 27th of January, 2017     (40 hours)

Who is the target audience?

The course is targeted to students and researchers with some experience in bioinformatics analysis and R programming language that wish to learn more about the integration of different omic data types.

The course is restricted to a maximum of 25 participants.

The official language of the course will be English.

Requisites: Basic notions of R programming. If students are not familiar with R language, they should complete any of the following (free) courses or materials before coming to the course:
