Feb 6-10, 2012: Doctoral program StarOmics/SIB course “Advanced statistics: Statistical modeling”

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce a new SIB course:

“Advanced statistics: Statistical modeling”
(http://edu.isb-sib.ch/course/view.php?id=113)

which will take place during the week of 6-10 February 2012.

This course will be centered on “statistical modeling” applied to biological problems, and we plan to discuss the following topics: advanced linear models, mixed models, generalized linear models, classification, and a short introduction to Bayesian statistics. The emphasis will be put on concrete applications in biology.

It is assumed that participants will have a level equivalent to the course “Introduction to statistics for biologists” that was organized in January 2011 in Geneva (http://edu.isb-sib.ch/course/view.php?id=89), and this course will build up on the content of the introductory course. In particular, prior knowledge of the “R” language and environment for statistical computing and graphics is required.

Registration is now open (see also: http://biologie.cuso.ch/staromics/activities/)

The list of all SIB courses is available from the SIB website at:  http://www.isb-sib.ch/education/

For the organizers,

Frédéric Schütz

July 11-12, 2011: SIB Bioinformatics Workshop: “Introduction to the Analysis and Visualization of Biological Networks with Cytoscape”

Dear All,

We are pleased to announce the SIB Bioinformatics Workshop entitled:

“Introduction to the Analysis and Visualization of Biological Networks with Cytoscape”

This two-day workshop, to be held from Monday July 11 to Tuesday July 12 – 2011,

will provide an introduction to the analysis and visualization of biological networks, as well as a tutorial on Cytoscape, one of the common tools used in biology for network analysis.

The course will cover the following main subjects:
A Biological Network Taxonomy
Analytical Approaches
Visualization Approaches
Introduction to Cytoscape
Cytoscape use cases:
-Expression data analysis
-Clustering of protein-protein interaction networks
-Introduction to plugin development

Important information as well as the registration page are available

Hope to see you there!

For the organizers,

Vassilios Ioannidis

Fri June 17, 2011 ad hoc sem. J.Rougemont

TITLE
Tools and interfaces for UHTS processing at the BBCF

ABSTRACT
I will present the general architecture of our recent developments, some of which have a wider interest for genomics-related bioinformatics.
This includes a genome mirroring tool (genrep), a workflow manager (bein), a genome data viewer (GDV) and various analysis pipelines that are accessible as python scripts or via web interfaces.
I’ll show how the pipelines are designed, and how you can create your own script to make use of our libraries and reproduce locally the behaviour of the web interface.
