#acl CscGroup:read,write,revert = Pathway and Network Analysis Service = == Cancer Stem Cell program == ---- ----- == Veronique Voisin == veronique.voisin@gmail.com located at TMDT 8th floor on Tuesday ---- ----- == Introduction about the service: == The Pathway and Network Analysis Service is freely available to all Cancer Stem Cell program members. High-throughput genomic experiments (e.g. gene expression, protein expression, molecular interactions, large-scale genetic screens and other omics data) lead to the identification of large gene lists. The interpretation of results and the formulation of consistent biological hypotheses from these gene lists are challenging. Computational approaches can aid interpretation by relating the gene lists to knowledge about the biological system. To help researchers interpret their results, we are developing a new consulting and analysis service for pathway and network analysis. Analysis will be conducted in close collaboration with researchers on each project (Cancer Stem Cell research program) to ensure correct input data and effective interpretation of results. ---- ----- == Information about Pathway and Network Analysis == ---- ----- == Online tutorials == All the software used are freely available (open-source). === Gene-Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) === *http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsea/index.jsp : Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is a computational method that determines whether an a priori defined set of genes shows statistically significant, concordant differences between two biological states (e.g. phenotypes). We use GSEA at the first analysis step. As we will perform this analysis for you, you don't need to download GSEA. === Cytoscape === * http://www.cytoscape.org/: Cytoscape is an open source bioinformatics software platform for visualizing molecular interaction networks and biological pathways and integrating these networks with annotations, gene expression profiles and other state data Download Cytoscape 2.8.0 from http://www.cytoscape.org/download.html (need to enter, name, institution, e-mail address but no account necessary) Cytoscape tutorial: http://cytoscape.wodaklab.org/wiki/Presentations/Basic === EnrichmentMap === * http://baderlab.org/EnrichmentMap Enrichment Map is a visualization method for gene set enrichment results which helps quickly find general functional themes in genomics data. Enrichment Map works as a plug-in for Cytoscape. To install it, download the zipped file, move it to the Cytoscape plugin directory and unzip it. === WordCloud === * http://baderlab.org/WordCloud WordCloud is a Cytsocape plugin that generates a word tag cloud from a user-defined node selection, summarizing an attribute of choice. It notably eases the interpretation of the Enrichment Map. Download the WordCloud plugin and put the file in the Cytoscape plugin directory, unzip it and put the WordCloud.jar file in the plugin directory. === GeneMANIA === *http://genemania.org GeneMANIA is a free public resource that offers a simple, intuitive web interface that shows the relationships between genes in a list and analyzes and extends the list to include other related genes. You can use GeneMANIA to find new members of a pathway or complex, find additional genes you may have missed in your screen or find new genes with a specific function. You also can use GeneMANIA as a Cytoscape plugin. You can find the GeneMANIA tutorial at: http://genemania.org/pages/help.jsf ---- ----- == Do you to play with your data == * Download the sofware you need : 1.
