RNA-seq: From quality control to pathway analysis
Bern, 15-16 February 2016
Overview
This course will present all the bioinformatics tools required to analyze RNA-seq gene expression data, from the raw data to the biological interpretation. This two-day course will discuss the following topics:
- Quality control and reads cleanup
- RNAseq reads mapping to genome & transcriptome
- Gene reads counting, gene & exons differential expression
- GO enrichment and pathway analysis
Learning objectives
At the end of the course attendees will:
- Understand advantages and pitfalls for RNA sequencing
- Be able to design their own experiment
- Practise the downstream analysis using command line software (QC, mapping, counting, Diff Expression, gene enrichment, pathway analysis)
Prerequisites
Knowledge / competencies:
- Participants should already have a basic knowledge in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques or already followed the Introduction to NGS course;
- A basic knowledge of the R statistical software (http://www.r-project.org/) is also required.
