Overview

Objectives

The DNA microarray technology plays a significant role in molecular biology, systems biology and pharmaceutical research. The aim of this course is to give students a general knowledge of methods for microarray analysis as well as the ability to apply computerized analyses on gene expression data. Furthermore, it is a goal that the students learn to formulate interesting problems/questions that can be addressed by gene expressions analysis

Content

The technology behind GeneChips and cDNA arrays; normalization of data before comparison between experiments; statistical significance of changes in expression; reduction and visualization of large data matrices: PCA and clustering; reverse engineering of regulatory networks; promoter analysis and functional analysis; integration of data; case stories. Finally a poster presentation based on a problem formulated in cooperation with the teachers.

Details

Key words

DNA Microarrays, Expression Analysis, GeneChip, Regulatory networks, classification, systems biology

Course Programme

Lectures and exercises will take place at the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis at the Technical University of Denmark, building 208, auditorium 51, in Lyngby.
