EMBL-EBI: Network Analysis with Cytoscape (ONLINE LIVE TRAINING)

This course provides an introduction to the basic theory and concepts of network analysis. Attendees will learn how to construct protein-protein interaction networks and subsequently use these to overlay large-scale data such as that obtained through RNA-Seq or mass-spec proteomics. The course will focus on giving attendees hands-on experience in the use of one of the most commonly used open source Network Visualisation Platforms, Cytoscape. The course will also access and analyse the data through Cytoscape apps, including IntAct app.
