  • Hands-On Training in Discovering Standard and Non-standard Transcripts



    Discovering standard and non-standard RNA transcripts
    How to detect canonical splicing, circular RNAs, trans-splicing, and fusion transcripts



    When?
    October 23rd - 24th 2014

    Where?
    Leipzig, Germany


    Scope and Topics

    The purpose of this workshop is to get a deeper understanding in the usage of split-read mapping in order to find splice junctions, predict new isoforms and uncover non-standard RNA molecules, like circularized RNAs or fusion-transcripts. Advantages and disadvantages of the so-called split-reads and their implications on data analyses will be covered. The participants will be trained to understand the mapping approach, to find potential problems/errors and finally to implement their own pipelines. After this course they will be able to find and analyze (non-) standard exon-exon junctions and create ready-to-use analyses pipelines.

    By the end of this workshop the participants will:
    • understand the implications of splicing or fusion events and the concept of split-reads
    • understand how to detect splice sites using split-read information
    • know how to predict and quantify different isoforms of genes
    • be able to find circularized RNAs or fusion-stranscripts
    • be able to perform differential splicing analyis
    • automate tasks with shell scripting to create reusable data pipelines
    • plot and visualize results
    • be able to reuse all analyses


    Requirements
    • basic linux knowledge (shell usage, common commands). You should be familiar with the commands covered in the Learning the Shell Tutorial
    • basic understanding of molecular biology (DNA, RNA, gene expression, PCR, ...)
    • knowledge in standard HTS analyses and data formats (FASTQ, SAM, samtools, ...)


    Target Audience
    • biologists or data analysts with some experience in analyzing HTS data


    Included in Course
    • Course materials
    • Catering
    • Conference Dinner

    Speakers

    Gero Doose (University of Leipzig) found and published several circularized RNAs in various RNA-Seq experiments. He specialized on split-read analysis some years ago and has a strong expertise in downstream analyses.

    Christian Otto (University of Leipzig) is one of the developers of the split-read mapping tool segemehl and is an expert on implementing efficient algorithms for HTS data analyses.

    David Langenberger (ecSeq Bioinformatics) started working with small non-coding RNAs in 2006. Since 2009 he specialized on NGS technolgies. He has been part of several large NGS projects, for example the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC).

    Guest-speaker:
    Invited speaker (Pacific Biosciences) will give a short presentation about the benefits of ultra-long reads in isoform detection.

      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...
