Description | In this 2-day course we aim at detailing state-of-the-art advancement of metabolomics, which represents a powerful approach and an alternative to the classical other omics. It represents a better phenotypic picture by reflecting the biochemical activity of the cells. This course will provide an overview of handling metabolomics data (from rawdata to biological knowledge) using bioinformatics tools. It will be delivered using a mixture of lectures, computer-based practical sessions and interactive discussions. |
