Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops has developed a 2-day course providing an introduction to RNA-seq data analysis followed by integrated tutorials demonstrating the use of popular RNA-seq analysis packages. The tutorials are designed as self-contained units that include example data (Illumina paired-end RNA-seq data) and detailed instructions for installation of all required bioinformatics tools (TopHat, Cufflinks, etc.). De novo assembly of transcripts is not covered.
Participants will gain practical experience and skills to be able to:
The workshop will be held in Toronto, Ontario on June 16 to June 17, 2016. For more information and to apply, please visit the workshop website.
Participants will gain practical experience and skills to be able to:
- Align RNA-seq data to a reference genome (required)
- Estimate known gene and transcript expression
- Perform differential expression analysis
- Discover novel isoforms
- Visualize and summarize the output of RNA-seq analyses
