About

This bioinformatics study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and the rapid development and extensive application of gene expression profile data has led to bioinformatics analysis becoming a popular method to explore disease pathogenesis. Bioinformatics analysis provides significant insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms of diseases at the genetic level. At this junction, the R language is used to identify DEGs through Bioconductor packages to show all DEGs by generating the volcano map, Euclidean distances to perform clustering, Venn diagram, and heatmap.

Aim

The aim of DGE analyses is the identification of genes showing significant differences in expression levels between two or more groups.

Workshop Objectives

  • To determine if the gene differences in expression between groups are significant given
    the amount of variation within groups or between the biological replicates.
  •  To compare two or more groups of samples to identify genes that are
    differentially expressed across experimental conditions.

Workshop Structure

Day 1: GEO repository and GEO2R web tool.

  • General Overview of GEO, Data Organization, Query, and Analysis.
  • Overview of GEO2R, how to use, Edit options and features, Limitations and caveats, Summary Statistics.

Day 2: R studio and Bioconductor packages.

  • R studio and Bioconductor packages installation.
  • DESeq2, GEOquery, and limma Bioconductor package.

Day 3: DGE Analysis with RNA-seq Data and Microarray Data.

  • Differential expression analysis with DESeq2 for RNA-seq Analysis.
  • Differential expression analysis with GEOquery and limma for Microarray data analysis.

Participant’s Eligibility

  • Undergraduate degree in Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, or related fields.
  • Researchers and professionals in genomics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics.
  • Individuals with a keen interest in gene expression analysis and computational biology.
