The course is aimed at meeting the contemporary high demands of cancer researchers for efficient utilization of the rapidly accumulated and publicly available “omics” data. Cancer research has rapidly embraced high throughput technologies (HT) and Cloud computing. Large amounts of data are being generated from microarray, tissue array, and next generation sequencing platforms. Dedicated computing clouds such as the Cancer Genome Collaboratory facilitate complex analyses on big cancer data sets from projects hosting their data in the Cloud. Now more than ever, having the informatics skills and knowledge of available bioinformatics resources specific to cancer and how to access and use available data sets is critical.
