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 outcomes\nAt the end of t
 he course\, participants will be able to:\n*  Distinguish available enrich
 ment analysis methods.\n*  Apply GSEA and over-representation analysis usi
 ng R.\n*  Determine whether the genes of a GO term have a statistically si
 gnificant difference in expression or not.\n*  Learn where to find other g
 ene sets in databases (e.g. KEGG\, oncogenic gene sets) and use them in R.
 \n\n\n# Prerequisites\n***Knowledge / Competencies***\n\nYou should meet t
 he learning outcomes of either [First Steps with R in Life Sciences](https
 ://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20250203_FSWR) or [Introduction to Statis
 tics with R](https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20250127_STATR).\n\nIn 
 case of doubt\, evaluate your R skills with this [quiz](https://docs.googl
 e.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIyeuabd_ZOWXgI1MWHapmaOMu20L9ESkLDZiWnpmkpujyOg/v

 ill 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 [RSt
 udio](https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/) versions install
 ed.\n\n# Application\n\n\nRegistration fees are **100 CHF** for academics 
 and **500 CHF** for for-profit companies. \n\nWhile participants are regis
 tered on a first come\, first served basis\, exceptions may be made to ens
 ure diversity and equity\, which may increase the time before your registr
 ation is confirmed.\n\nApplications will close on **14/02/2025** or as soo
 n as the places will be filled up. Deadline for free-of-charge cancellatio
 n is set to **06/03/2025**. Cancellation after this date will not be reimb
 ursed. Please note that participation to SIB courses is subject to our [ge
 neral conditions](https://www.sib.swiss/training/terms-and-conditions).\n\
 nYou will be informed by email of your registration confirmation. Upon rec
 eption of the confirmation email\, participants will be asked to confirm a
 ttendance by paying the fees within 5 days.\n\n # Venue and Time\nThis cou
 rse will be streamed.  \n\nThe course will start at 9:00 CEST and end arou
 nd 17:00 CEST.\n\nPrecise information will be provided to the participants
  in due time.\n\n#  Additional information\nCoordination: Patricia Palagi\
 , SIB Training Group.\n\nWe will recommend 0.25 ECTS credits for this cour
 se (given a passed exam at the end of the course).\n\nYou are welcome to r
 egister to the SIB courses mailing list to be informed of all future cours
 es and workshops\, as well as all important deadlines using the form [here
 ](https://lists.sib.swiss/postorius/lists/courses.lists.sib.swiss/).\n\nPl
 ease note that participation in SIB courses is subject to our [general con
 ditions](https://www.sib.swiss/training/terms-and-conditions).\n\nSIB abid
 es by the [ELIXIR Code of Conduct](https://elixir-europe.org/events/code-o

 same code.\n\nFor more information\, please contact [training@sib.swiss](m
