About this Class

Due to the recent Government Furlough this talk had been POSTPONED and wil be rescheduled at a later date.

This 2-day course, which includes both lecture and hands-on components,  will teach the basic concepts and practical aspects of microarray gene expression analysis. Learn everything from experimental design to statistical analysis and several downstream pathway and pattern discovery methods using both commercial (Partek) and open source software. Those who  successfully complete this course will receive a certificate, that will not only look good on their wall, but will also entitle their lab to an additional subsidy from OSTR towards the cost of microarrays processed by  the LMT Core.

Day 2 PM (1-5): GeneSet Enrichment Analysis (GSEA)
(Alan Berger, PhD - School of Medicine Johns Hopkins University

 

GSEA is a computational method that determines which (if any) a priori defined sets of genes are   significantly differentially expressed, as an ensemble, between two biological states.  It is an open-source program developed by the Broad Institute:    http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsea/index.jsp

                                 How GSEA measures differential expression for each set of genes

                                 Controlling effects of multiple comparisons in GSEA (false discovery rate)

                                 The Broad Institute library of groups of gene sets (MSigDB)

                                 What files and formats are needed for GSEA

                                 User options and running GSEA

                Hands-on
