First come, first served 
The Microarray Informatics group at the EBI is responsible for management and analysis of transcriptomic data. The group provides a set of tools for biologists and researchers to access and analyze transcriptomics data available in the public domain. This course aims to introduce biologists to these tools.
Topics included in this workshop:
- Microarray data standards and formats: MIAME/MAGE-TAB
- Ontologies: Experimental Factor Ontology
- ArrayExpress: EMBL-EBI's MIAME-compliant repository for gene expression data from microarray and transcriptomics experiments. Introduction on how to browse the database content and download the data.
- Gene Expression Atlas, a semantically enriched database of meta-analysis based summary statistics, which serves queries for condition-specific gene expression patterns.
This session will usually be offered as one of a number of short introductions to EBI Services that can be booked separately.
