This workshop series provides an introduction to bulk RNA-seq data analysis, with a particular emphasis on differential expression analysis.
In the first workshop in this series, participants will:
- Develop a working understanding of the analytical workflow for a modern RNA-seq experiment
- Build a working knowledge of sample preparation considerations for RNA-seq experiments
- Learn how to process raw NGS data in FASTQ format to generate a gene expression matrix
- Learn how to perform a detailed quality control analysis of RNA-seq data
Registration Limit: 40
Workshop will not run with fewer than 25 participants
The majority of analyses in this workshop will be conducted using the UNIX shell. Although we will include an introduction to the UNIX shell and how it can be used for bioinformatic data analysis, participants are strongly advised have prior experience with using the UNIX shell before attending the workshop. We are providing a list of resources that can be used to either develop these skills in the months prior to the workshop, or assess if this workshop is appropriate for your skill level. If you find the material in the resources provided challenging to get through on your own we offer a separate workshop called Fundamentals of Bioinformatics that will introduce the UNIX shell environment in greater detail.
