Introduction
Bioinformatic tools, tactics, and resources are having a profund
impact on virtually all facets of neuroscience. Knowing what types
of questions can be asked and answered using the latest generation
of computational resources is one key to continued success in
neuroscience. What would have been a year-long experiment can
now often be reduced to a few keystrokes and clicks.
We assume no special quantitative or computational background,
only intense interest in discovering how you can take advantage
of burgeoning bioinformatics resources. The course faculty will
cover several key aspects of exploiting full genome sequence data,
microarrays, mutagenesis research, rich 2-D and 3-D image data
sets of whole brains and single cells, as well as massive functional-physiological
and behavioral data sets.
All faculty presentations will include practical advice and protocols
and more advanced coverage of special topics. In addition to tours
of online resources, we intend to give you advice on laboratory
relational database systems, exploratory data analysis, the informatics
and processing of microarray results, and strategies of data reduction
of complex multidimensional data sets (clustering, self-organizing
maps). You will be introduced to some of the latest tools for
acquiring, analysing, and combining complex multidimensional image
datasets from the level of synapses to sytoarchitectonic divisions.
This short course will help you to learn more about exploring
and exploiting online and in-lab resources to increase the pace
and quality of your research. This full day course consists of
a series ofg lectures by the faculty followed by informal workshops,
and includes a syllabus booklet and matched online resources.
