Functional analysis: the biology behind the genes
04 dec
General context
This course will guide you into the steps to understand what the genes can tell you about your organism and what conditions they represent. With the advances in technology, understanding the load of informations and giving it some meaning is becoming more challenging. To help you through this adventure and, to get the answers your data is anxious to show you, we will use online tools to annotate and analyse some Human and Plant datasets and by the end of the day everyhting will make sense!
We will use Gene Ontology , Gene enrichment as much as Pathways to interpret our data and unravel the meaning of our gene set. This introdoction of Functional analysis will elucidate the biology behind the gene and bring to light what your data means.
