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
