This is part of our "Bioinformatics BootCamp for Postdocs" series.

Workshop Description: The course is a general introduction to Microarrays and the use of R/Bioconductor to carry out microarray data analysis. Following introduction the workshop starts with hands‐on exercise on how to install R and Bioconductor GUI packages. The course is mainly based on the use of Bioconductor open source packages for analyzing single channel and two channel data sets. Only basic R coding will be introduced since all the analysis are performed using AffylmGUI, a graphical interface to Bioconductor tools, designed for life scientists who are not familiar with R language. Students will learn how to carry out the following; Quality control, Normalization, Filtering, Statistical analysis.

The c3 Bioinformatics team, in conjunction with the HMS/HSDM Office for Postdoctoral Fellows, is offering 2019 Summer Bioinformatics Bootcamp. The hands-on workshops will be held June through August, 2019.
Workshop dates and regisration will begin opening up in May, three workshops will be listed at any one time.
Bootcamp completion certificate is awarded for those who attend at least 70% of the workshops.
