Dear all,
There are last seats available for the course "RNA-SEQ ANALYSES IN NON-MODEL ORGANISMS"
Dates: online, December 11th-15th
Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course11/
This course provides an overview of modern applications of transcriptome sequencing and popular tools and algorithms for exploring transcript reconstruction and expression analysis in a genome-free manner, leveraging the Trinity software and analysis framework. Attendees will perform quality assessment of Illumina RNA-Seq data, assemble a transcriptome using, among others, Trinity, quantify transcript expression, leverage Bioconductor tools for differential expression analysis, and apply Trinotate to functionally annotate transcripts. In parallel to the short-read assembly, participants will perform the pre-processing of 3rd generation sequencing data (PacBio IsoSeq) and the resulting assemblies will be compared. Additional methods will then be explored for characterizing the assembled transcriptome and revealing biological findings.
Basic experience with linux command-line execution and execution of bioinformatics tools would be helpful. We will begin the course with a review of basic linux commands and operations as a refresher. No programming or scripting knowledge is required.
