3-Day Workshop on Metabolic Network Analysis
About the Workshop
This workshop introduces metabolic pathway analysis using the KEGG database and Cytoscape for visualization and network-based interpretation of biological data.
Who Can Join
Life science students, bioinformatics researchers, and professionals interested in systems biology and metabolism.
Prerequisites
Basic understanding of molecular biology and metabolism. Some familiarity with databases and Excel is helpful.
Day 1: KEGG Database and Pathway Exploration
- Introduction to metabolic networks and systems biology
- Overview of the KEGG database (KO, pathway maps, BRITE hierarchy)
- KEGG Mapper and Pathway reconstruction tools
- Introduction to Cytoscape and its importance in omics data visualization
- Importing KEGG pathway data into Cytoscape (KGML, SBML formats)
- Integrating transcriptomics or metabolomics data with metabolic networks
- Pathway enrichment analysis (via DAVID, GSEA or Cytoscape apps like ClueGO)
