EMBL Course: Analysis and Integration of Transcriptome and Proteome Data

Systems biology is a still expanding field of research aiming to understand at the molecular level how cells, tissues and organism operate in their biological context. Among the key technologies driving this forward are next-generation sequencing and proteomics, as they provide powerful means to determine global expression levels of genes and proteins. Both fields have matured to a degree that they have now become accessible to researchers in many areas of biology. During this course participants will gain theoretical insight in the structure of sequencing and proteomic data, and will receive training in data analysis using various computational tools.

Topics: Principles of mRNA quantification, Principles of protein identification and quantification, Principles and application of bioinformatic tools for mining of transcriptome and proteome data, Data integration by Cytoscape
