SUMMARY:W22: Intro to Cytoscape
DESCRIPTION:The workshop introduces Cytoscape (https://cytoscape.org/) – an open source platform for retrieval and visualization of complex biological interactions that are available from public interaction resources: The IMEx Consortium (https://www.imexconsortium.org/)\, STRING (https://string-db.org/) and BioGIRD (https://thebiogrid.org/). It covers querying for interactions data using built-in search interface\, interaction data cleanup and visualization as well as overlying of the in-house generated data (eg. gene expression levels) on top of the imported reference interaction network. The workshop will also provide an overview of the experimental methods of interaction determination and of the information available from the interaction resources\, both necessary to critically evaluate imported interaction networks. \n

SUMMARY:W19: AI Agents
DESCRIPTION:This 3-day workshop (3 hours per day) introduces participants to the foundations and practical implementation of AI agents using large language models (LLMs) and LangChain. The course covers how LLMs reason\, how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works\, and how to extend models with tool use to automate tasks \n

SUMMARY:W37: Applications of Large Language Models
DESCRIPTION:This 3-day interactive workshop introduces the overarching principles guiding generative modeling and specifically Large-Scale Language Models (LLM)\, their application in Python for inference\, and specific use-cases in Genomics. Experience with Python is necessary\, and basic knowledge about ML workflows is preferred. \nAt the end of this workshop\, you WILL be comfortable with loading\, inferencing and experimenting with state-of-the-art LLMs in Python\, and making small changes to suit your research interests in Genomics. You WILL NOT be exposed to the internal architecture of LLMs and training your own models.

SUMMARY:W5a: RNA-seq I Analysis
DESCRIPTION:RNA-seq I aims to provide an introduction and the basics tools to process raw RNA-seq data on a cluster machine (Hoffman2). The workshop can serve also as a starting point to develop a gene expression project. This workshop is divided in three days that will cover major steps of processing RNA-seq. \nTo facilitate learning\, the workshop will be centered on hands-on tutorial that will guide students in processing the data from raw reads through read counts using a real case study based approach appropriate for Illumina read data.

SUMMARY:W5b: RNA-Seq II Analysis
DESCRIPTION:RNA-seq II aims to provide tools for analysis of gene expression data from read counts to biology using R. To facilitate learning\, the workshop will use a real case study based approach appropriate for Illumina read data (same as RNA-seq I).
