This workshop series introduces bulk RNA-seq data analysis, with a particular emphasis on differential expression analysis.

REGISTER HERE

Part I of this workshop, days 1 and 2, will discuss data generation, QC, and data reduction:

  • 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

Part II of this workshop, days 3 and 4, will cover differential expression (DE) analysis.

  • Develop a working understanding of fundamental bioinformatics and statistical concepts for a typical bulk RNA-seq DE analysis
  • Learn how to leverage the R/Bioconductor framework to perform DE analysis
  • Learn how to use unsupervised data analysis methods (e.g. principal components analysis) to explore RNA-seq datasets
  • Perform a complete DE analysis on a real RNA-seq dataset
