Cytoscape Workshop 2016
Thursday, May 19, 2016 from 1:30 pm – 6 pm
Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine
Organized by Barry Demchak
Cytoscape is the most popular software for visualizing molecular networks and biological pathways and for integrating these networks with annotations, gene expression profiles and other state data. Although Cytoscape was originally designed for biological research, now it is a general platform for complex network analysis and visualization. In this workshop, the Cytoscape development team from Trey Ideker’s lab will present a series of lectures and hands-on demonstrations covering a range of issues for both beginning and advanced users.
Please visit here to register.
Note: Please register for the beginner OR advanced session, not both. The only difference between ticket types is the information presented during the 3:15pm session. The software requirements for each session can be seen here, and you may need to download software prior to the session.

- Goals: Be able to import data with Pandas, analyze data with NetworkX, visualize data in Cytoscape, and share notebooks and visualizations
No Show Policy
While we do not charge a fee to attend this event, these programs would not be sustainable and available to all wanting to attend, unless all registrants abide by the 48 hour cancellation notice policy. A no-show will also limit your ability to book our events in the future. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Parking
Free parking at the Sanford Consortium’s east lot will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis. Hourly parking is also available for puchase at the ticket booth. There is also additional parking near the Torrey Pines Gliderport, which is within walking distance. The UCSD Shuttle Route has two drop off locations within walking distance to the Sanford Consortium.
