  • Course -Genomics with R and Bioconductor - Berlin 16-20 September 2019

    Dear all,

    still a few places on our course " Genomics with R and Bioconductor"

    Where: Free University (FU) Berlin (Germany)

    When: 16-20 September 2019

    Instructor: Dr. Ludwig Geistlinger - CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, New York (USA)

    Registration deadline: August 20th

    Course:

    This course will provide biologists and bioinformaticians with practical statistical analysis skills to perform rigorous analysis of high-throughput genomic data. The course assumes basic familiarity with genomics and with R programming, but does not assume prior statistical training. It covers the statistical concepts necessary to design experiments and analyze high-throughput data generated by next-generation sequencing, including: exploratory data analysis, principal components analysis, clustering, differential expression, and gene set analysis.

    Programme:

    Session 1 – Introduction

    Monday - 09:30 to 17:30

    Lecture 1: Data distributions

    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...
