Bioinformatics Workshop on R/BioConductor for Microarray Analysis (13 Jun 2008)

Microarray analysis is a very common activity in any modern life science research laboratory. However, the ability to analyse the data professionally is critical. Many bioinformatics/statistical software packages are commonly used. One popular package is the R/BioConductor suite. The Association of Medical and BioInformatics Singapore (AMBIS) in collaboration with the Bioinformatics Centre, and Dept of Biochemistry, NUS, with the Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNet) is pleased to announce a "Bioinformatics Workshop on R/BioConductor for Microarray Analysis" scheduled for 13 June 2008 to be held at LS Lab8, Level 4, Block MD7 at the Dept of Biochemistry, National University of Singapore.
