2. Identifying biomarkers of drug response for cancer patients Aims: Aims: To develop of predictors of response to drugs To develop of predictors of response to drugs To learn how to get public microarray data To learn how to get public microarray data To learn how to preprocess microarray raw data To learn how to preprocess microarray raw data To annotate the genes of interest To annotate the genes of interest

3. Requirements Each group investigates: Each group investigates: ONE kind of cancer patient drug response ONE kind of cancer patient drug response Need Two datasets from different studies Need Two datasets from different studies Download the raw data Download the raw data Use Bioconductor in R to prepossess raw data Use Bioconductor in R to prepossess raw data Identify certain number of genes Identify certain number of genes Annotate those identified genes in your report Annotate those identified genes in your report Each group needs only ONE report Each group needs only ONE report

4. Requirements All kinds of affymatrix expression datasets related to drug response of cancer patients are available All kinds of affymatrix expression datasets related to drug response of cancer patients are available Dataset needs to contain at least 20 samples Dataset needs to contain at least 20 samples Dataset needs two comparable outcome groups: response vs. non-response; resistance vs. non-resistance, et al. Dataset needs two comparable outcome groups: response vs. non-response; resistance vs. non-resistance, et al.
