<span style="color:black">This is a course on bioinformatics resources taught by the developers of the resources. Bgee is a curated database of gene expression in animals, including model species such as human, mouse or drosophila, and others such as livestock,
primates, or fishes. Bgee integrates information from single-cell and bulk RNA-seq, microarrays, and in situ hybridization. These data are available through a web interface and an R package. Bgee also includes tools which use these data, such as TopAnat or
Expression Comparison, and allows integration with users' own data through another R package. In this course, we will present the curated and pre-analysed gene expression data in Bgee. Hands-on will be open to make use of the Bgee companion tools, Bgee’s online
functionalities, or Bgee R packages to retrieve data and integrate them<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>into one’s own workflow (e.g. RNA-seq analysis R script).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
