11th International Conference for Molecular Systems Biology 2009, Shanghai, China

Workshops (Sunday June 21)

8:30~9:30 What? Why? How? An Introduction to Modeling Biological Systems
Eberhard O. Voit, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
[download slides]
9:45~12:45 Latent Variables in High Dimensional Data
William R. Atchley and Lisa McFerrin, North Carolina State University.

William R. Atchley and Lisa McFerrin provide slides, software codes in R, a tutorial and example data for their course "Latent variables in high dimensional data" for download here:

-> under "Workshop Materials" and "HDMD R Package"
You are encouraged to download the materials in advance and use them on your laptops during the course.
(Download capabilities will be very limited at the course site. The R software program is required to run the examples.)
