LAST ANNOUNCEMENT: CSAMA'07 There are very few places left for the following course Computational and Statistical Aspects of Microarray Analysis (V) 18-22-June-2007, Bressanone-Brixen, Italy Registration closes on May 10th. If you are interested, please visit: http://www.economia.unimi.it/ marray Description follows: This 5 days lecture series provides an introduction to genomic data and their interpretation. The main focus will be on microarray experiments, covering statistical topics such as preprocessing, normalization, quality assessment, gene identification, machine learning and inference for graphs and networks. Applications of these methods to proteomics and other high throughput technologies will also be covered. Computer laboratory material will be available for self-study. Participants should have some minimal background on biological, statistical and computational aspects of microarrays, or other high-throughput data. The maximum number of participants is 60. Participants will receive a copy of the book "Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Solutions Using R and Bioconductor", Gentleman et al., Springer NY, 2005. There are 40 additional places for auditors (lectures only).
