Making sense of gene and protein lists with functional enrichment analysis


Done an omics experiment? Got a long list of genes and proteins that you can’t make sense of?

Join our mini series to discover how to use functional enrichment analysis combined with gene ontology and pathway information to highlight the underlying biology in your data.

Starting with an introductory webinar on 23 October we explain how functional enrichment methods work and the types of tools, databases and workflows you can make use of.

We follow this up with a hands-on workshop on 20 & 21 November where you can try out some of the most commonly used databases and tools for over representation analysis (ORA), gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and for identifying enriched biological functions in a list of genes or proteins. We’ll focus on tools available online and in R.

Join the mini series for one or both of these events. They are free to attend but applications are essential.

Webinar: 23 October 2024, 1 - 2 pm AEDT. More information and registrations.

Workshop: 20 - 21 November 2024, 1 - 4 pm AEDT. More information and applications.

This mini series is presented by the Australian BioCommons, Monash Genomics and Bioinformatics Platform and the Sydney Informatics Hub with the assistance of a network of facilitators from the national Bioinformatics Training Cooperative.

This event is part of a series of bioinformatics training events. If you'd like to hear when registrations open for other events, please subscribe to Australian BioCommons
