Jump Starting Genomics in Your Research Program: A How To

By

 Rob Williams, Ph.D.

Director

Center for Integrative and Translational Genomics

UTHSC has a strong program in mouse genetics and genomics that you and your research team can almost certainly exploit in ongoing research and your next grant application. This is true whatever species or disease process you study.  The Center for Integrative and Translational Genomics has preliminary results that you are likely to be able to use. In particular we have a great deal of gene expression data for mouse, rat, and human. If your research involves any level of molecular biology (proteins, mRNAs, small metabolites), you will almost certainly be able to get something useful out of the CITG GeneNetwork system. In this talk Rob Williams, Director of the CITG and of GeneNetwork will walk you through the process of extracting, analyzing, and incorporating data sets that are available on-line to all UTHSC researchers.  

BRING your research problems or favorite genes and proteins to this work seminar.
