Registration is NOT required.
Advances in high-throughput technologies have generated a huge amount of data in the field of cancer research. Analysis of this data is critical for its practical translation from bench to bedside.
This workshop will cover emerging bioinformatics resources available in cancer biology and provide hands-on instruction on:
- retrieving cancer genes by searching relevant databases and literature using Quertle and BIOBASE
- finding somatic mutations by searching mutation databases including COSMIC, ICGC data portal, cBioPortal
- analyzing Drivers vs. Passenger mutations using IntOGen
- retrieving gene expression data (tumor vs. normal) from GEO/Array-Express using the Illumina-Nextbio search tools
- pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software
This class is approved for AMA Category 2 CME credit.
