The CBW has developed a 2.5-day course covering the bioinformatics concepts and tools available for interpreting a gene list using pathway and network information. The workshop focuses on the principles and concepts required for analyzing and conducting pathway and network analysis on a gene list from any organism, although focus will be on human and model eukaryotic organisms.

Participants will gain practical experience and skills to be able to:

Get more information about a gene list;
Discover what pathways are enriched in a gene list (and use it for hypothesis generation);
Find out how a set of genes is connected by e.g. protein interactions and identify pathways, systems and modules within this network;
Predict gene function and extend a gene list;
Identify master regulators, such as transcription factors, active in the experiment.
We will develop a unified analysis flow chart throughout the course that students will be able to follow after the workshop to conduct their own analysis.
