| Purpose of the course | During recent years omics data has become an integral part of many biomedical and clinical research projects. This broad introductory course aims at bridging the gap between classical biomedical research, omics technologies and bioinformatics. The course will give students an introduction to omics technologies and basic knowledge of omics data analysis workflows. |
| Intended learning outcomes | After completed course, the student will be able to: * Understand the principles and perform the basics of high-throughtput technologies and the omics data analysis workflow (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics,) * Understand the principles aspects of study design, experimental planning and sample selection * Know how to do basic quality control of data by use of boxplots, PCA etc * Know what normalization, data transformation etc means and what it does to your data * Know the principles of some basic statistics such as t-test and false discovery rate * Know the principles of dimensionality reduction methods such as PCA and tSNE * Use tools for hierarchical clustering, functional enrichment and pathway analysis * Use tools for gene ontology (GO) annotation/enrichment |
| Contents of the course | * The omics data analysis workflow: from quantitative data to biological information (emphasis on analysis of genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics data) * Introduction to omics technologies and data structures * Omics experimental design and sample selection * Introduction to data transformation and normalisation * Introduction to basic statistics in omics data analysis: significance test/p-values/multiple testing correction/false discovery rate * Introduction to dimensionality reduction PCA/MDS/tSNE * Introduction to Gene Ontology and enrichment analysis * Introduction to correlation analysis and hierarchical clustering * Introduction to network and pathway analysis * Introduction to online bioinformatics resources and analysis tools * Introduction to the R statistical programming language * Literature study with a critical view on how omics data is analyzed in clinical research. * Current state of the art in omics data analysis is highlighted through case studies, literature studies and demonstrations |
| Teaching and learning activities | The teaching activities for the course will be based on lectures, workshops and data analysis cases. The students will participate in a literature study with discussions in seminar groups as well as an independent data analysis exam project. The students will also be able to download and use some of the software in workshops during the course. |
| Compulsory elements | * Attendance on lectures and data analysis demonstrations. * Attendance to literature study discussion seminar. * Attendance to examination seminar and hand in the written examination assignments. * Extra written literature study can be used to compensate absence. |
| Examination | The course assessment is based on two type of assignments: a literature study with a critical view on an omics data analysis subject performed in groups and an individual written omics data analysis project illustrating the different topics covered during the course. |
| Literature and other teaching material | Literature will consist of recent original and review articles and will be provided to students as PDF files. | Course responsible |
