Subject: Analyzing Microarray Gene Expression Data - Free online seminar, June 26, noon EST.

Microarrays have revolutionized molecular biology with data mining techniques becoming standard practice for uncovering relationships in gene expression data!

Two leaders of the field, Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro, Ph. D., the renowned expert on data mining and founder of KDnuggets, and Sridhar Ramaswamy, M.D., Ph.D., a biologist at the Whitehead / MIT Center for Genome Research and Harvard Medical School, working on using microarrays for identifying novel genetic markers, developed best practices for analyzing microarray gene expression data and will be presenting them in an online seminar.

Join SPSS Inc. for a free live 60-minute online seminar, delivered right to your desktop on Wednesday June 26 at 11:00 a.m. CST.

Learn about best practices for data mining of microarray gene expression data, including:

  • Preprocessing and filtering of microarray data
  • Selecting the best set of genes for classification and clustering
  • Reducing the false positives using randomization techniques
  • Building classification and clustering models
Clementine, the leading data mining software from SPSS Inc., has become the platform for data mining. Now, a Clementine Application Template (CAT) for microarray gene expression analysis is available, which enables you to uncover new insights by mining gene expression data. This CAT provides sample analysis files, documentation and data.

After the seminar you will have the opportunity to pose questions to the presenters.

If you are unable to attend, but would like information, please phone SPSS Inc. at 1-800-543-5815. Please pass this invitation on to any colleagues who may be interested in analyzing microarray gene expression data.
