How to find us
We will meet on the science campus of the university of Heidelberg, "Im Neuenheimer Feld", building no. 305, room 144 (that is the seminar room in the 1st floor) on Monday, March 24, at 9 am.
Here are some links that may be helpful in finding the Neuenheimer Feld in Heidelberg:

And here is a map that should help you in finding building 305 - it is marked with a circle:

Bring your own data
You are encouraged to bring some of your own data to the course (e.g. genepix files or CEL/CDF). We will use this during the exercises. If you expect to have own data only later in the year, it may in fact be advantageous also to register for one the later courses in Berlin or Heidelberg.
Background Knowledge
Ideally, you are interested in mathematical and statistical problems and are familiar with at least one programming language. This course focusses on the practical side of gene expression data analysis. However, data analysis without understanding the statistical background is in general impossible. We strongly recommend you to refresh your mathematical and programming skills before attending the course.
R and Bioconductor
In the afternoon exercises you will learn how to analyze data using the statistical computing environment R [http://www.r-project.org] and BioConductor [http://www.bioconductor.org], a open source software for bioinformatics. R sources and package sources can be downloaded from The Comprehensive R Archive Network at http://cran.r-project.org. Basics are explained in Introduction to R.
