GenePattern Workshop
Michael Reich
Fri Jan 20, 10am-01:00pm, DIRC 14N-132
Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Single session event
Prereq: none
GenePattern is a software package for the analysis of data from microarrays and other genomic platforms. GenePattern is freely available for MacOS, Windows, and Linux (http://www.broad.mit.edu/tools/software.html).
Participants will learn how to do microarray analysis using the features of GenePattern, including:- comprehensive repository of clustering, prediction, preprocessing, and visualization modules for analysis of microarray data
- pipeline environment that allows users to chain tasks together to create and share methodologies
- task integration environment that allows rapid, code-free integration of new tools
- programming environment that allows users to access GenePattern modules from Java, MATLAB, and R programming languages
