Analysis of public gene expression data with Genevestigator
General context
GENEVESTIGATOR® enables analysis of deeply curated bulk tissue and single-cell transcriptomic data from public repositories with user-friendly visualization tools. The unique collection of high quality data can be queried for biomarker and target discovery, diagnostics and in silico modelling.
Access to Genevestigator is free for VIB scientists.
This training will show you:
- what Genevestigator is
- how you can use it to answer your research questions
The morning session is taught by Philip Zimmerman, founder of Nebion, the company that develops Genevestigator. He will give an introduction to the software and a demonstration on how to use it.
The afternoon session is taught by Stephane Plaisance, data scientist at VIB Nucleomics Core. In this hands-on session the trainer will show how to use Genevestigator to answer questions proposed by the participants.
