About this Class

Are you familiar with the bioinformatics tools and databases Enrichr, Harmonizome, BioJupies, and ARCHS4, developed by the Ma’ayan Lab? In this webinar, Dr. Avi Ma’ayan describes two new bioinformatics software tools he and his lab are developing. Learn how these data-integration tools can help analyze various data types to better understand complex diseases, such as diabetes and cancer.

The following tools will be featured:

• Diabetes Data and Hypothesis Hub (D2H2), which combines resources and data sets related to diabetes into one integrative platform; and
• Playbook Partnership Workflow Builder (PPWB), which helps novice users build customizable bioinformatics workflows for generating hypotheses and customizing data analysis and visualization.
