RNA-Seq Data Analysis in R (2-days online workshop)

The course is recommended for researchers who are familiar with programming in R or have completed our introductory course in R. The workshop will start with a presentation on the specificity of high-throughput data analysis such as RNA-Seq data. We will introduce you to the comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome such as quality control, mapping, initial filtration and normalization or higher-order analysis, i.e. differential analysis and gene ontology. We teach practical knowledge supported by examples, exercises and the so-called case study. The goal of the course is to introduce the essentials of next generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis. The classes are in the form of a workshop, with participants’ progress checking and the possibility of asking questions. After the end of the workshop, participants will receive a certificate confirming their attendance in the course.
