The
Ontario Genomics Institute (OGI) and
The Centre for Applied Genomics (TCAG), in partnership with
StemCore Laboratories, hosted a one-day training session on bioinformatics tools for interpreting gene lists from 'omics' data (e.g. gene expression, protein expression, molecular interactions, large-scale genetic screens and other omics data). The session focused on annotating, providing functional information and analyzing pathways and networks from a gene list using GeneMANIA and Cytoscape - both of which are freely available tools on the web.
The session consisted of both presentations and hands-on lab time including:
An introduction to gene lists, network visualization and analysis using Cytoscape and also pathway analysis using enrichment analysis was covered by Dr. Gary Bader during the morning session.
