DESCRIPTION:Attendance is free of charge\; however\, registration is mandat
 ory.\n\n# Overview\n\n[Bgee](https://www.bgee.org) is a curated database o
 f gene expression in animals\, including model species such as human\, mou
 se or drosophila\, and others such as livestock\, primates\, or fishes\, c
 overing biodiversity as well as applied research. Single-cell and bulk dat
 a are reprocessed\, carefully curated\, and standardized. They can be retr
 ieved through web and R tools\, and programmatic access. Bgee also include
 s analysis tools leveraging these data\, such as [TopAnat](https://www.bge
 e.org/analysis/top-anat) or [Expression Comparison](https://www.bgee.org/a
 nalysis/expr-comparison).\n\nThis 0.5-day course is taught by the develope
 rs of Bgee. In this course\, they will present their curated and pre-analy
 sed gene expression data\, and explain how to use these data and the relat
 ed tools.\n\n# Audience\n\nThis course is designed for PhD students\, post
 doctoral and other researchers in the life sciences from both academia and
  industry who need to retrieve curated gene expression\, obtain expression
 -based knowledge on genes of interest\, or compare expression between gene
 s and between species.\n\n# Learning outcomes\n\nAt the end of the course\
 , the participants are expected to:\n\n* Find active genes from bulk or si
 ngle-cell RNA-Seq.\n* Describe information on expression that Bgee can pro
 vide in model and non-model species.\n* Understand the added value of Bgee
  data curation and analysis.\n* List the Bgee web tools and state their ut
 ility to research.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n# Prerequisites\nParticipants shou
 ld have basic knowledge of the expression of genes and the technologies us
 ed to detect gene expression. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n### ***Technical***\nYou are
  required to have your own computer with an Internet connection. All the s
 uggested resources are available without you having to install or code any
 thing.\n\n# Schedule - CET time zone\n| **Time**  | **Activity** |\n| ----
