Webinars

Array-based Copy Number Analysis of Glioblastoma Samples (from The Cancer Genome Atlas project)

In this presentation we will show the utility and efficacy of BioDiscovery's Nexus Copy Number in processing and analyzing a large number of glioblastoma samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project. This data set provides an ideal showcase for integration of data as it involves data coming from many different array platforms, including Agilent 244K, Affymetrix SNP 6, and Illumina 550K, as well as different data modality spanning copy number changes, mRNA and miRNA regulation and methylation data. We will demonstrate how regions of genomic change can be identified and correlated with phenotypic data. We will then use a novel hotspot detection algorithm to identify the regions where multiple genomic events coincide. The genes in these regions are then selected for enrichment analysis against various GO categories to yield possible biological processes that are involved in glioblastoma.

Date/Time:
Singapore/Australia: Thursday, Aug. 28th, 9:30AM Singapore / 10:30 AM Sydney, Australia

Nexus Copy Number was designed exclusively to provide an efficient, scalable, and intuitive means for research scientists to transform their raw genomic copy number data into biological insights. The software can integrate data from thousands of arrays along with their clinical annotations in a single project. Nexus Copy Number supports various array platforms and associated software including Agilent, Affymetrix, Illumina, GenePix, BlueFuse, ImaGene, Roche NimbleGen, Empire Genomics as well as custom data files.
