Prior Cytoscape or network analysis experience?

  • None -- that's what I'm here for!
  • Some network analysis, but what's Cytoscape?
  • I've played with Cytoscape, but still have a lot to learn.
  • I use Cytoscape all the time...
    (hey, I could probably teach this course!)

Questions and Discussion

"Exam"

To make sure you now have a working knowledge of Cytoscape, choose one of the following datasets to analyze in Cytoscape:

  • Colins (2007): A merged dataset of three yeast APMS experiments. Find the putative complexes.
  • GPL54: A yeast heat shock microarray experiment from GEO. Create a network of the most significant genes based on the magnitude of the fold change and color the nodes by expression.
