Each participant is expected to bring a laptop or have access to a computer during the workshop. They install Bio-Linux on their computes, which facilitates running simple analysis on toy-example data. To save time, each participant is provided with a USB flash drive that contains necessary files for installing Bio-Linux and also some example data.

1. Guidelines for installing BioLinux on Mac OS X or Windows using a virtual machine [ppt, pdf].
2. The zipped folder for session 1, includes sample data, a script for installing Salmon on BioLinux, a cheat sheet, etc.
3. The main presentation in session 1:
   Part 1: BioLinux and Mapping RNASeq (Samlon) [ppt, pdf]
   Part 2: R and Differential expression analysis (DESeq2) [ppt, pdf]
   Part 3: Finding gene homologs (Ensembl Biomart) and Pathway and network analysis (GeneMANIA & InnateDB) [ppt, pdf]
4. The zipped folder for session 1, includes sample protein MS data, a cheat sheet, etc.
5. The main presentation in session 2:
   Part 1: Pathway and functional analyses on protein MS results (String manipulation in R, InnateDB, MouseMine) [ppt, pdf]
   Part 2: Sample size for RNA Seq experiments and DNA methylation (minfi) [ppt, pdf]
