The morning session will give you an overview of the possibilities of Genevestigator, a search engine of curated and normalized publicly available gene expression data. The interface allows you to visualize spatio-temporal (tissue - developmental stage) and perturbational gene expression information of many species in a user-friendly graphical way. The afternoon session will focus on the practical applications in a hands-on tutorial on Genevestigator followed by concrete examples of software that can be used to further interpret the results of your Genevestigator searches, like Ingenuity Pathway Analysis and DAVID. Finally, you will be able to work on the questions that you want to answer in your own research under the supervision of the trainer.
Participants are therefore encouraged to submit a description of the objectives of the analysis they want to perform.
