This is an early announcement of a forthcoming workshop:
BBSRC Workshop on Analysis and Interpretation of Microarray Experiments
=======================================================================
20-21 September 2004, Rothamsted Research, Harpenden, AL5 2JQ UK
Microarrays have become the standard technique for high-throughput
determination of gene expression, but there is still great diversity in
the
approaches taken in experimental design and data analysis. There is a
need
to identify best practice and standardise. There are also increasing
efforts to
link gene expression data to genetics, proteomics and metabolomics.
These
topics will be addressed in the workshop by recognised experts.
The workshop is sponsored by the BBSRC and will be of interest to anyone
involved in the development and application of bioinformatics,
statistical
and mathematical methods for microarray data analysis and
interpretation.
