    RNASeq, Whole Genome & MetaGenomics Training in Dubai

    2-day Technical Training in NGS Data Analysis | DNA, RNA & MetaGenomics in Dubai
    When: 6-7 April 2020
    Where: Executive Lounge, Business Centre, Level 30, The H Hotel-Office Tower, #1 Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
    This will be our 6th event in Dubai

    Event Webpage

    PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In the workshop, we will perform 3 experiments to analyze the example RNASeq, DNASeq & MetaGenomics data. Hands-on exercises will be performed individually using software tools on your own laptops. No prior software experience is required.
    SCHEDULE | DAY 1
    EXPERIMENT 1

    In this lesson, we will focus on the SNPs and Variant Calling (VC) of the DNASeq data and cover:
    • Deal with the raw data for quality evaluation and filtering
    • Map reads to the reference genomes, call SNPs and predict their phenotype consequence
    • Alignment to a reference genome, SNPs and In-dels Calling of next-generation sequencing DNA data


    SCHEDULE | DAY 2
    EXPERIMENT 2

    In this lesson, we will focus on the Differential expression of Genes (DEGs) of the RNASeq data and will cover:
    • Upload Data
    • Convert File Format
    • Align Reads To Reference Genome
    • View The Mapped Reads In JBrowse
    • Count Reads Per Gene
    • Test For Differential Expression
    • Differential Gene Expression
    • MDS Plot
    • MA Plot
    • Volcano Plot
    • Parallel Coordinates and Heatmap
    • Investigate Differentially-Expressed Genes
    • Chord Diagram


    EXPERIMENT 3
    In this lesson, we will focus on the MetaGenomics Analysis in 16S rRNA | Amplicon Sequencing Data Analysis (OTUs) and will cover:
    • File Optimization- Loading of data & optimizing it according to our experiment.
    • Quality Control- Check sequencing quality
    • Sequence Alignment- Grouping/Alignment of reads
    • Extraction of Taxonomic Information- Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs)- Clustering Sequences
    • Visualization- Examine diversity of species/taxa present within a single sample, Comparison of species/taxa diversity between two samples & Taxonomic Diversity- How many species are in a sample? What are the differences in species between samples?

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

    Environmental Genomics in the Age of NGS: From Microbes to Conservation Strategies
    by SEQadmin2

    Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.


    Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...
