W14: Intro to Modern Statistics with R

529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

Through this seminar, attendees will walk away knowing when and how to run modern versions of traditional statistical analysis. These tests and the underlying bioinformatical lesson about resampling will be of use to most scientific disciplines. The course makes no assumptions about familiarity with traditional statistics – we will simply go through relatable experimental examples […]

W12: Intro to MATLAB

529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

MATLAB is a powerful, high-level programing language for numerical computation, visualization, and application development. This workshop will start by introducing the MATLAB environment and then cover working with arrays and matrices, loops and conditional statements, writing your own functions, working with files and visualizing your data. The final day will briefly introduce utilizing MATLAB to […]

W31: Spatial Transcriptomics

529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

Spatial transcriptomics is an emerging field that bridges molecular biology and anatomy. Over the last decade, a battery of assays have been developed that profile gene expression in-situ, i.e, measuring the abundances of mRNA molecules in cells and tissues while retaining information about their spatial locations. This workshop will introduce the basic concepts, major techniques, […]

W7: ChIP-seq Analysis

529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

This workshop aims to provide skills needed to address principles of the assay, quality assessment, sequencing depth, data processing and functional downstream analyses of ChIP-seq datasets. Students will have opportunities to practice hands-on with state-of-the-art analytical tools.
