8:30am: Coffee/snacks provided by USC Libraries
9:00am – 12:00pm: IPA New User Hands-on Training
This hands-on training session will mainly focus on biological interpretation of expression data (including RNA-seq). Using IPA you will learn how to rapidly:
- Format, upload your data, and launch an analysis
- Identify enriched pathways and overlay expression data
- Find causal regulators and their directional effect on genes, biological processes and diseases
- Build causal pathways, make connections between entities, and overlay multiple datasets on a pathway or network
- Understand the effected biological processes
- Comparison Analysis: utilize a heat map to easily visualize trends across multiple time points, treatments, samples, groups or multi-omic observations (RNA vs protein expression etc.)
12:00pm – 1:00pm: Lunch provided by QIAGEN
1:00pm – 2:00pm: New Functionalities in IPA
- IsoProfiler Enhancements
- Phosphorylation Analysis
- Analysis Match
2:00pm – 4:00pm: Ingenuity Variant Analysis (IVA) Hands-on Training
- This hands-on session will enable you to go from a vcf to a short list of potential causal variants for a phenotype.
