GHGA is organising a summer school on Gene Set Enrichment Analysis with R

Instructors: Zuguang Gu (DKFZ) and Kübra Narci (GHGA)

Content:

Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is a fundamental technique in biological data analysis. It is commonly used to associate biological functions with a list of genes, offering valuable insights into the biological context of experimental results. This workshop will provide a comprehensive introduction to GSEA methods with hands-on practice using R and Bioconductor packages. The following topics will be covered:

1) accessing and utilizing gene set resources with Bioconductor packages;

2) ORA and GSEA,

3) applications of GSEA in genomics;

4) pathway-based GSEA approaches;

5) single-sample GSEA approaches, and

6) visualization of GSEA results.

Recommended audience: master students, PhD and postdoc with R skills
