Hi All,
We will have a visitor next Monday (June 14th). David Warde-Farley is a prospective PhD student in our lab. He will be giving a talk on his recent work done at the University of Toronto.
Date and Time: Monday June 14th, 14h00 Location: Rm. 3195
Title/Abstract: The GeneMANIA gene function prediction server
The GeneMANIA gene function prediction server (http://www.genemania.org) is a flexible tool providing biological researchers with a single point of access for querying large-scale publicly available genomics and proteomics datasets and generating hypotheses about gene function. The current version has been in operation since July 2009. This version supports gene function predictions for six organisms: yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), worm (Caenorhabditis elegans), fly (Drosophila melanogaster), mouse (Mus musculus), Arabidopsis thaliana, and human (Homo sapiens). Users select their organism of interest and input a list of query genes. GeneMANIA weights selected sources of experimental data based on their relevance and scores genes outside the query list using a modified version of Gaussian field label propagation, returning the most relevant hits to the user.
Hope to see you all there.
Cheers, Aaron
