(2026) Pathway and Network Analysis: Calgary, AB
Date: 12 - 13 May 2026
This 2 day course covers the bioinformatics concepts and tools available for interpreting a gene list using pathway and network information. The workshop focuses on the principles and concepts required for analyzing and conducting pathway and network analysis on a gene list from any organism, although focus will be on human and model eukaryotic organisms. This workshop will cover tools using graphical user interfaces as well as some light programming in R. This is a distributed workshop. It will be offered simultaneously in two locations. Instructors, TAs, and facilitators will be present at each venue and lectures will be broadcast back and forth.

Prerequisites:
You will require your own laptop computer. Minimum requirements: 1024×768 screen resolution, 1.5GHz CPU, 8GB RAM, 10GB free disk space, recent versions of Windows, Mac OS X or Linux (Most computers purchased in the past 3-4 years likely meet these requirements). This workshop requires participants to complete pre-workshop tasks and readings. Some basic familiarity with R and RStudio is required.
Learning objectives:
Participants will gain practical experience and skills to be able to: Get more information about a gene list Discover what pathways are enriched in a gene list (and use it for hypothesis generation) Find out how a set of genes is connected by e.g. protein interactions and identify pathways, systems and modules within this network Visualize results We will develop a unified analysis flow chart throughout the course that students will be able to follow after the workshop to conduct their own analysis Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their own research/research plans with faculty
