There are various annotation packages provided by the Bioconductor project that can be used to incorporate additional information to results from high-throughput experiments. This can be as simple as mapping Ensembl IDs to corresponding HUGO gene symbols, to much more complex queries involving multiple data sources. In this workshop, we will cover the various classes of annotation packages, what they contain, and how to use them efficiently.

This workshop gives an in-depth overview of existing methods for enrichment analysis of gene expression data with regard to functional gene sets, pathways, and networks. The workshop will help participants understand the distinctions between assumptions and hypotheses of existing methods as well as the differences in objectives and interpretation of results. It will provide code and hands-on practice of all necessary steps for differential expression analysis, gene set- and network-based enrichment analysis, and identification of enriched genomic regions and regulatory elements, along with visualization and exploration of results. waldronlab.io

This workshop will provide a beginner’s guide to dimension reduction, matrix factorization, principal component analysis (PCA), the difference between singular value decomposition, different forms of PCA and fast PCA for single-cell data as well as correspondence analysis and decomposition of the Pearson Residuals. We will describe how to detect artifacts and select the optimal number of components. It will focus on SVD, PCA, COA applied toy datasets and single-cell data. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a key step in many bioinformatics pipelines. In this interactive session we will dive into the various implementations of singular value decomposition (SVD) and principal component analysis (PCA) to clarify the relationship between these methods, and to demonstrate the equivalencies and contrasts between these methods. We will also describe correspondence analysis, decomposition of the Pearson Residuals and demonstrate how it differs from PCA. We will look at TSNE and UMAP, discuss interpretation of outputs, as well as some common pitfalls and sources of confusion in utilizing these methods. aedin.github.io

This workshop will introduce and demo the molecular visualization software UCSF ChimeraX, with an emphasis on drug discovery and Virtual Reality applications. This open-source program is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. A general introduction to computer applications in drug discovery will be provided, and several aspects of this will then be demonstrated with ChimeraX. Examples include identifying sequences on 3D structures, changing molecular representations, modifying and mutating residues, aligning structures, and analyzing small molecule docking results. ChimeraX provides the capability of multi-person shared sessions in Virtual Reality, and this will be shown. Also presented will be the ability of ChimeraX to visualize 3D medical images, such as CT scans.
