高傳出基因數據分析

Novel statistical methodology can enhance understanding of the interactions between multiple genes and environmental factors on a complex disease. The massive amount of high-throughput genomic data brings a great challenge of developing advanced statistical and computational data mining tools. In this course, we will go through some effective statistical methods for analyzing these high-throughput data. The course especially focuses on three types of high-throughput data: gene expression microarray, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) reads.

Students are expected to be familiar with computer languages R and Bioconductor. Background on probability and mathematical statistics is required.
