DESCRIPTION:**All those signing up for this course will be accepted and wil
 l receive the Zoom link to connect a few days before the course starts. \n
 **\n\n\n\n# Overview\n\nThis is a course on bioinformatics resources taugh
 t by the developers of the resources. [Bgee](https://bgee.org/) is a curat
 ed database of gene expression in animals\, including model species such a
 s human\, mouse or drosophila\, and others such as livestock\, primates\, 
 or fishes. Bgee integrates information from single-cell and bulk RNA-seq\,
  microarrays\, and in situ hybridization. These data are available through
  a web interface\, an R package\, a SPARQL endpoint\, and a JSON API. Bgee
  also includes tools which use these data\, such as TopAnat or Expression 
 Comparison\, and allows integration with users' own data through another R
  package. In this course\, we will present the curated and pre-analysed ge
 ne expression data in Bgee. \n\n# Audience\n\nThis course is addressed to 
 life scientists who need to retrieve curated gene expression\, obtain expr
 ession-based knowledge on genes of interest\, or compare expression betwee
 n genes and between species.\n\n# Learning outcomes\n\nAt the end of the c
 ourse\, the participants are expected to:\n\n* Detect active genes from bu
 lk or single-cell RNA-Seq\n* Describe information on expression that Bgee 
 can provide\n* Recognise the added value of Bgee data curation and analysi
 s\n* Highlight the Bgee webtools and their utility to research\n\n\n\n\n\n
