  • RNA-seq workshop: Library Preparation and Introduction to Data Analysis; November

    The UC Davis DNA Technologies and Bioinformatics Cores would like to announce their autumn RNA-seq workshop:

    RNA-Seq Library Preparation and Introduction to Data Analysis

    November 15, 2016, 9 a.m. – November 17, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

    RNA-seq has revolutionized the way we address complex biological questions, allowing for differential gene expression, differential transcript analysis, as well as transcriptome assemblies. As sequencing output rapidly increases and sample numbers increase, library preparation becomes one of the major bottlenecks. This workshop provides comprehensive hands-on training in the preparation of high quality RNA-Seq libraries for the Illumina platform. Participants will generate two types of RNA-seq libraries: one using poly-A enrichment and one using ribo-depletion. The former protocol is preferred for high quality eukaryotic RNA samples. The latter is required for bacterial RNA-seq and fragmented RNA samples. Lectures will cover the entire workflow including sample QC/QA, as well as the basic principles of Illumina technology and considerations for experimental design meeting current publication standards. Approximately 6 hours will be spent on data analysis, presented by the Bioinformatics Core, and will include an introduction-to/demo-of RNA-seq data QA/QC, preprocessing, read mapping, gene counting as well as a hands-on-exercise on Differential Expression Analysis in R with previously computed gene counts tables.
    Please see this page for the full information and the registration:


    The registration fees are:
    $400.00 – UC Rate
    ; $500.00 – Academic/Non Profit, $600.00 – Industry/For Profit

    Participants are required to bring a set of adjustable volume micro-pipettes (10, 20, and 200 ul) for their own use to the workshop as well as a laptop computer (Windows, Mac, Linux) for the data analysis part.


    Please let me know if I can help with any questions.

    Best regards,
    Lutz

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
