BMC Bioinformatics Workshop - Gene set functional analysis

BMC Bioinformatics Facility hands-on sessions | Session 07

Gene set functional analysis

When: Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at 13:00 - 14:00

Where: Læknagarður 229 and Zoom https://eu01web.zoom.us/my/adrian.hi (we plan to record the session)

Schedule: https://tinyurl.com/bmcbfhosschedule

Our next session will be a hands-on introduction to gene set functional enrichment analysis. In a nutshell, after we learned how to identify and visualize differentially expressed genes, now is the time to functionally characterize them. 

We will be working on RStudio; the major libraries we will be using are clusterProfiler and org.Hs.eg.db. Please make sure  you have them installed on your computer. You can use this code to check that out:

library(clusterProfiler)

library(org.Hs.eg.db)

# use the following code if you don't have them installed

# if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))

#  install.packages("BiocManager")

#BiocManager::install("clusterProfiler")

#BiocManager::install("org.Hs.eg.db")

Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday.
