DESCRIPTION:# Overview\nExperiments designed to quantify gene expression of
 ten yield hundreds of genes that show statistically significant difference
 s between groups of interest. Once differentially expressed genes are iden
 tified\, enrichment analysis (EA) methods can be used to explore the biolo
 gical functions associated with these genes. EA methods allow us to identi
 fy groups of genes (e.g. particular pathways) that are over-represented\, 
 thereby offering insights into biological mechanisms. One of the EA method
 s frequently used for high-throughput gene expression data analysis is Gen
 e Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). This course will cover GSEA and alternat
 ive enrichment methods. Because the implementation of GSEA is directly lin
 ked to databases that annotate the function of genes in a cell\, the cours
 e will also give an overview of functional annotation databases such as Ge
 ne Ontology. All course material can be found on the [GitHub course web pa
 ge](https://sib-swiss.github.io/enrichment-analysis-training/).\n\n\n# Aud
 ience\nBiologists who are eager to perform functional annotation of a set 
 of differentially expressed genes.\n\n# Learning objectives\nAt the end of
  the course\, participants will be able to:\n*  Distinguish available enri
 chment analysis methods.\n*  Apply GSEA and over-representation analysis u
 sing R.\n*  Determine whether the genes of a GO term have a statistically 
 significant difference in expression or not.\n*  Learn where to find other
  gene sets in databases (e.g. KEGG\, oncogenic gene sets) and use them in 
 R.\n\n\n# Prerequisites\n***Knowledge / Competencies***\n* Statistics\, be
 ginner level (T-test\, multiple testing methods). \n* R\, beginner level (
 Rstudio\, how to install a library\, matrix and data frame manipulation\, 
 import and export data from text files). [Test your R skills with the quiz
  here\, before registering.](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIy

 Technical**\n* This course will be streamed. You are thus required to have
  an internet connection and your own computer with the latest [R](https://
 www.r-project.org/) and [RStudio](https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio
 /download/) versions installed.\n\n# Application\n\n\nRegistration fees ar
 e **100 CHF** for academics and **500 CHF** for for-profit companies. \n\n
 While participants are registered on a first come\, first served basis\, e
 xceptions may be made to ensure diversity and equity\, which may increase 
 the time before your registration is confirmed.\n\nApplications will close
  as soon as the places will be filled up. Deadline for free-of-charge canc
 ellation is set to **26/02/2024**. Cancellation after this date will not b
 e reimbursed. Please note that participation to SIB courses is subject to 
 our [general conditions](https://www.sib.swiss/training/terms-and-conditio
 ns).\n\nYou will be informed by email of your registration confirmation. U
 pon reception of the confirmation email\, participants will be asked to co
 nfirm attendance by paying the fees within 5 days.\n\n # Venue and Time\nT
 his course will be streamed.  \n\nThe course will start at 9:00 CEST and e
 nd around 17:00 CEST.\n\nPrecise information will be provided to the parti
 cipants on due time.\n\n#  Additional information\nCoordination: Valeria D
 i Cola\, SIB Training Group.\n\nWe will recommend 0.25 ECTS credits for th
 is course (given a passed exam at the end of the course).\n\nYou are welco
 me to register to the SIB courses mailing list to be informed of all futur
 e courses and workshops\, as well as all important deadlines using the for
