2005 Summer Program in Microarray
Gene Expression Data Analysis
Each summer the MBI hosts a 3-week education program. The first
week is spent in a tutorial, which combines morning lectures with
active learning laboratories in the afternoon. The following 2 weeks
are spent working on guided team projects and participating in a
miniconference to share project results. The program is meant primarily
for graduate students; college instructors and qualified undergraduates
will also be considered.

Monday 8/8 - Wednesday 8/17 Teams work
on projects
Project 1: Image analysis and normalization (cDNA array data)
Project Leader: Bertram Zinner
Abstract: Worddoc
Presentation: PPT
In this project, the participants will work on quantifying gene
expression levels from fluorescent intensities measured on microarray
hybridization experiments. After the image analysis, additional
work will be carried out to normalize the data to eliminate systematic
biases.
Project 2: Identification of differentially expressed genes
Project Leader: Zailong Wang
Abstract: Worddoc
Presentation: PPT
The goal of this project is to identify the set of genes that are
differentially expressed under different settings, for example,
under different disease status/stages or different experimental
conditions.
Project 3: Cluster analysis of gene expression data
Project Leader: Jin Zhou
Abstract: Worddoc
Presentation: PPT
This project will involve grouping genes according to their "similarities",
such as similar expression patterns under several experimental conditions
or several time points in a cell cycle.
Project 4: Class discovery and prediction of tumor subtypes
Project Leader: Nusrat Rabbee
Abstract: Worddoc
Presentation: PPT
This project allows the team to explore different statistical methods
for tumor subtype classification based on tissue specific gene expression
profiles of tumorous samples.
Project 5: Use of ChIP-on-chip to interrogate cancer epigenome
Project Leaders: Victor Jin and Alfred Cheng
Abstract: Worddoc PPT
Presentation: PPT
The modification of chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to allow
analysis on microarray (ChIP-on-chip) represents a genome-wide approach
to investigate interactions between proteins and DNA. In this workshop,
we will introduce the use of this novel technique to interrogate
cancer epigenome such as profiling of histone modifications.
