The workshop is dedicated to exploring the intricate biology concealed within lists of differentially expressed genes. Participants will delve into an array of publicly accessible pathway enrichment analysis resources, such as the Gene Ontology (GO), Molecular Signature Database (MsigDB), Reactome, KEGG, and WikiPathways. Utilizing tools like GSEA and g:Profiler, the session will guide attendees in mining these databases effectively. Additionally, the workshop will provide comprehensive instruction on creating enrichment maps from GSEA and g:Profiler results using Cytoscape, thereby enhancing the participants' ability to visualize and interpret complex biological data.
Upon completing this class, you should be able to:
- Discover the underlying biology of differentially expressed genes.
