– Retrieving and inferring networks from public resources
– interaction database universal client
– introduction to common databases for interactions pathways, transcriptional regulation, metabolomics.
– introduction to STRING (R, Cytoscape, web services)
– text mining
– How to annotate your data with BioMart
– id conventions, uniqueness of annotation systems,
– enriching data with BioMart using e.g. PFAM, sequence data, etc.
BYOC (bring your own computer with pre-installed Cytoscape 3.x (latest), (R and RStudio optional for parts of the workshop) or use the provided lab machines.
