Microarrays and Data Mining
10 - 11 December 2002
Dear Associates,
EBI will host an Industry workshop: "Microarrays and
Data Mining" on 10th - 11th December 2002. The Scientific
Coordinators are Alvis Brazma and Jaak Vilo. Please find below
a brief summary of the workshop:
There are two goals for the meeting. First, to present the
tools and
databases created by members of the EBI Microarray group (these
are
available to Industry Partners). Second, to present new microarray
data
analysis research. The tools presented are the Expression
Profiler
analysis tools, ArrayExpress microarray database, and the
MIAMExpress
annotation and submission tool for microarray data. Overall,
the
research topics to be covered during two days are: microarray
gene
expression analysis, promoter analysis and transcription factor
binding
site prediction using pattern discovery methods, gene regulatory
network
construction and analysis methods, high-throughput analysis
of
protein-protein interaction data, and an update on the ArrayExpress
database and ontology developments related to that. As a new
and
emerging area we are introducing the subject of the analysis
of genetic
information for population based studies.
