Network biology course, using Cytoscape

[Heather Vincent]

Members of this group might be interested in the University of
Manchester's distance learning course on molecular interaction networks.

The course, 'Bioinformatics for Systems Biology'
(http://octette.cs.man.ac.uk/bioinformatics/modules/systemsbiology.html), covers
the use of networks for the integration and visualisation of biological
data. It could be taken as a single course, or with one or more of our
other Masters level courses in Digital Biology. Our other online
courses include :

Mathematics for metabolic modelling
Bioinformatics for transcriptomics
Computational Systems Biology

Bioinformatics for Systems Biology covers:

* the use of models in biology
* structure and use of public pathway and interaction databases
* reconstruction of biological networks from experimental data
* network statistics
* integration of transcriptome data with a network
* advanced topics

The final section will prepare participants for our advanced course in
'Computational Systems Biology'.
