Data Analysis for the Group Research Project

Published

17 December, 2024

Overview

You are either

  • an integrated masters student doing BIO00088H Group Research Project or
  • an MSc Bioinformatics student doing BIO00070M Research, Professional and Team Skills

Integrated masters students doing 88H will be doing one of these projects:

The project types are:

Title Director Data analysis strand
Identifying transcriptional targets of FGF signalling in Xenopus embryos. Betsy Pownall Transcriptomics, Emma Rand
Investigating the differentiation of stem cells in healthy bone marrow Jillian Barlow Transcriptomics, Emma Rand
Investigating  pathways involved in the Nickel detoxification in Willow Liz Rylott Transcriptomics, Emma Rand
Investigating differential RNA expression through the Leishmania lifecycle Pegine Walrad Transcriptomics, Emma Rand
Identifying novel proteins regulating synaptophagy Richard Maguire Image analysis, Richard Bingham
Defining pathological cascades in dopaminergic neurons in a Parkinson’s model Sean Sweeney Image analysis, Richard Bingham
Discovery proteins for biotech applications: new classes of antibody mimetics Michael Plevin Structure Analysis, Jon Agirre

Data Analysis compromises five workshops covering computational skills needed in your project. MSc Bioinformatics students do the Core workshops and the transcriptomics workshops as part of BIO00070M. The data analysis workshops are:

Week Data Strand
2 Core 1 Supporting Information - reproducibility, project-oriented workflow, naming things, cool code, handy shortcuts
3 Strand specific 1
4 Strand specific 2
5 Strand specific 3
6 Core 2 Supporting Information - documenting with a README, curating code, non-coded processes

Module Learning Outcome linked to this content

Students who successfully complete this module will be able to

  • use appropriate computational techniques to reproducibly process, analyse and visualise data and generate scientific reports based on project work.
