The challenge now lies in interpreting them in a biological valuable manner.

Impact of batch effects on scientific inference, Unsupervised learning methods to facilitate the identification of patterns representing underlying phenotypes, Classification and regression methods and their accuracy evaluation using cross-validation approach, Functional enrichment analysis to extract biological insights from gene expression data, Deconvolution approaches to retrieve underneath profiles.
Participants
Researchers involved in the field of omics research. Poster session will be organized. Student and junior scientists are welcome to participate. Registration fees will be Euro 100.
Funding
Participants are expected to cover their own travel and living costs. A limited number of grants covering accommodation (twin share) and local hospitality for the duration of the course are available to a selected number of ICGEB member States.
