Over the last decades we witnessed a great increase in the reliability, throughput, scope, and affordability of ‘omics’ technologies (i.e. systems-level molecular data acquisition technologies). Thanks to these developments, data from multiple omics modalities about the same biological problem happens to occur more commonly, both in projects and public repositories, prompting researchers with new opportunities and challenges. This introductory course will highlight the challenges that researchers face in integrating multi-omics datasets. The course will focus on biological examples in a practice oriented way,  using public data resources and open access tools, with an emphasis on visualisation. This course will not include systems biology modelling or machine learning.A major element of the course is a group project, where you will work together with 2-4 other participants on a challenge set by trainers from EMBL-EBI data resources and research teams. This allows you to explore the bioinformatics tools and resources introduced in the course and to apply these to a well defined research problem, providing hands-on experience relevant to your own research. The group work will culminate in a presentation session involving all participants on the final day of the course, allowing wider discussion on the benefits and challenges of the integrated analysis of multi-omics data.Curious about what the group projects look like?
