GHGA Summer School on Gene Set Enrichment Analysis with R
Date: 2nd - 5th June 2025
Instructors: Zuguang Gu (DKFZ) and Kübra Narci (GHGA, DKFZ)
Language: English
Content:
Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is a fundamental technique in biological data analysis. It is commonly used to associate biological functions with a list of genes, offering valuable insights into the biological context of experimental results. This workshop will provide a comprehensive introduction to GSEA methods with hands-on practice using R and Bioconductor packages. The following topics will be covered:
1) accessing and utilizing gene set resources with Bioconductor packages;
2) ORA and GSEA,
3) applications of GSEA in genomics;
4) pathway-based GSEA approaches;
5) single-sample GSEA approaches, and
6) visualization of GSEA results.
Recommended audience: master students, PhD and postdoc with R skills
Location: Meeting room 4th floor Mathematikon (Berliner Str. 41, 69120 Heidelberg)
