About this Class

This 2-day course, which includes both lecture and hands-on components, will teach the basic concepts and practical aspects of ChIP-Seq Data Analysis. There will also be a talk on ENCODE and a comprehensive discussion of topics ranging from experimental design to data visualization. This workshop will include presentations on using open source applications (MACS, HOMER, MEME, SICER) as well as commercial software (Genomatix).  To access the NCI Genomatix server, to request for a password through IT helpdesk to genomeanalyzer.nci.nih.gov.

NOTE: This is a BYOC (Bring your own laptop Computer) class. Government issued or personal computers are permitted. We will be able to supply a very limited set of computers, so if you want to take the class but cannot bring your own computer please indicate such in the Comment section on the registration form. This workshop will be remotely telecast to the Library Training Room in Bldg 549 at NCI-Frederick for attendees who select to register at that location. Please register only if you intend to attend the workshop.
