5-Apr Computational workgroup meeting- work on final project
12-Apr Computational workgroup meeting- work on final project
19-Apr Work on final project AND/OR begin final presentations (depending on number of participants)
26-Apr Finish final presentations
*Topics denoted as "part I" will consist mostly of background to the analysis technique and a comparison to conventional pipelines; "part II" will mostly consist of examples of the technique in the literature and a discussion about what the technique does well (or poorly) compared to conventional techniques.
**Final projects will consist at least one practical application of the gene expression analyses covered in class. You are encouraged to use your own data set. Presentations should be approx. 15 minutes long
