ARK-Genomics provides Microarray Data Analysis and Meta-Analysis training courses. Topics covered include microarray experimental design, normalisation; analysis of differential gene expression; analysis of gene pathways etc.
Example Course Outline
Day 1:
- Microarrays overview, one and two colour systems
- Normalisation (Global normalisation, LOESS, array QC)
- Analysis of two sample experiments
- Analysis of more complex experiment 1 (Multivariate analysis)
Day 2:
- Analysis of a case study using R and Genstat (Instructor lead; two different case studies Time course and time treatment interactions)
- Analysis of more complex experiment 2 (ANOVA)
- Analysis of more complex experiment 3 (Clustering)
- Analysis of a case study using R (Instructor lead; two different case studies)
- Microarray experimental design (Direct comparison, reference designs, dye swap, types of replication)
Day 3:
- Gene annotation and /or ontology
