CGR advanced course in genome-wide gene expression profiling by array and NextGen sequencing

University of Liverpool, UK

Organised by Professor Andrew Cossins (University of Liverpool) and Dr Marta Milo (University of Sheffield)

Gene expression profiling is the essential component of the bioscience toolkit for generating genome-scale insights into responses of cells, tissues and organs, and for generating new hypotheses. Whilst array-based approaches are now mature and widely used, advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing now offer new and more powerful approaches.

This three-day course provides a thorough introduction to the essential concepts surrounding, and the use of, both these techniques, together with instruction in the underlying statistical considerations and the statistical data processing techniques for analysis and interpretation of the resulting gene lists. It is designed for beginners, and is composed of lectures, keynote seminars, wet-lab and dry-informatics demonstrations.
