Dr. Yan Zhang (BMI) and Dr. Raghu Machiraju (CSE) will co-instruct a course in Spring 2018. Check it out:
BMI 7830 - Integrative Methods of Bioinformatics for Human Diseases / CSE 5559 - Special Topics in Data Analysis and Visualization
With the fast development of high-throughput technologies such as microarray, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and mass spectrometry and whole slide imaging (WSI), bioinformatics becomes an essential part of biomedical research on human diseases. Analysis of the large amount of high-throughput data becomes the new bottleneck in many research projects. Even more required is an integrative approach that uses multiple types of data to glean biomarkers or achieve patient stratification. The goal of this course is to let students get familiar with the commonly used bioinformatics data analysis tools via hands-on training and discussion on both classical and state-of-the-art literature. The topics include integrative analysis and visualization of both microarray and NGS data for genotyping, genomics, proteogenomics, and from WSI studies towards human diseases as well as advanced methods based on gene network inference and analysis.
