This OmicSoft DiseaseLand training is designed to empower researchers to take advantage of data on non-oncological diseases (e.g., inflammatory, infectious, metabolic) as well as normal tissues (e.g., for toxicology or target safety assessment).

OmicSoft DiseaseLand is a repository that contains high-quality curated ‘omics data (e.g., RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, microarray) from diverse data sources (e.g., GEO, SRA, GTEx). This training will focus on leveraging public data, but users can also apply this knowledge towards their institutions' internal Lands ('omic data repositories). 

You learn to answer questions such as:

• How is a gene (or a set of genes) expressed across different conditions (e.g., diseases, treatments, tissues, cell types)

• How is the expression of a gene correlated with the expression of other genes?  

• For a list of genes, can we generate a heatmap studying their expression across different conditions? 

• How do you get a list of biomarkers specific to a condition from public studies?
