About This Course

Machine learning/AI is an influential tool in the analysis of RNA-Seq gene expression data. ML methods are broadly used to identify new biomarkers for disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring and to learn unseen patterns in gene expression that boost our understanding of the fundamental biological pathways. The success of an ML/AI model depends heavily on the input data. Identifying an appropriate dataset can be a challenge, and the data must be selected carefully, as a predictive model trained on the unreliable or inappropriate data will produce unreliable predictions. The rations of machine learning analyses in public functional genomics repositories are encountered by rare curated ML/AI-ready datasets. Therefore, it is important to study a data set sensibly to confirm its reputation for a machine learning job.
Bioconductor packages are used to show all differential gene expressions by generating the volcano map, Euclidean distances, and heatmap.

Aim

The aim of providing access to powerful statistical and graphical methods for the analysis of genomic data.

Workshop Objectives

As I mentioned earlier, the mentor’s English was difficult to understand, which made it challenging to follow the training. A possible solution would be to provide participants with a PDF version of the presentation so we could refer to it after the session. Additionally, the mentor never turned on her camera, did not respond to questions, and there was no Q&A session. These factors significantly reduced the quality and effectiveness of the training.
