DESCRIPTION:Genetic perturbations emerged as a powerful experimental approa
 ch to investigate the function of genes and other genomic elements\, and t
 o identify potential therapeutic targets for various diseases.Large amount
 s of genetic perturbation data have already been generated\, with even lar
 ger and more diverse datasets expected to be produced in the near future. 
 However\, the lack of standardisation and accessibility of these datasets 
 hinders their effective utilisation by the research community.The Perturba
 tion Catalogue acts as a central hub for collecting\, cleaning\, curating 
 and standardising genetic perturbation data from various sources\, making 
 it easily accessible and usable for both academic and industrial researche
 rs. The Perturbation Catalogue provides a user-friendly interface and acce
 ss to powerful tools for data exploration\, visualisation and analysis. Th
 e data are harmonised and metadata annotated to ensure consistency\, cross
 -study comparability and utility for Machine Learning (ML) applications.Th
 is webinar acts as a brief introduction to the field of genetic perturbati
 ons\, the challenges associated with data accessibility and standardisatio
 n\, and how the Perturbation Catalogue aims to address these issues. It al
 so provides a hands-on demonstration of the Perturbation Catalogue web por
 tal\, showcasing its features and capabilities for data exploration and re
 trieval.
