EMBL-EBI: Interactions & Pathways - Reactome

Prerequisites

This workshop will give an introduction to the Reactome pathway database website and analysis tools, using short presentations and practical hands-on exercises. The session will also explain where to learn more, get help, and how to become involved in adding more pathway information to Reactome.

Also note: This event is part of a series of short introductions focusing on EMBL-EBI resources. If you want to learn more about these separate training events, see the Related Courses section below.

• This workshop is aimed at researchers who want to learn about pathways or identify pathways relevant to a set of molecules
• Graduate students, Postdocs and Staff members from the University of Cambridge, Affiliated Institutions and other external Institutions or individuals
• Further details regarding eligibility criteria are available here
• Further details regarding the charging policy are available here

No previous bioinformatics experience is required, but an undergraduate level understanding of biology would be an advantage

Number of sessions: 1

After this course you should be able to:

• Navigate the Reactome Pathway browser, search pathways and understand pathway diagrams
• Find proteins or compounds represented in Reactome
• Extend Reactome pathways with protein-protein or protein-compound interactions from relevant databases or with your own interactions data
• Map your own lists of genes, proteins, or compounds to Reactome pathways and identifying the pathways that are over-represented
• Visualise pathway expression levels using your own microarray or protein dataset

During this course you will learn about:

• The need for pathway databases such as Reactome
• Reactome pathways diagrams
• Navigating the Pathway browser
• Analysing your own data with Reactome
