RNA-Seq Data Analysis Workshop
Quality Control, Read Mapping, Visualization and Downstream Analyses
Advance your research. Understand RNA-Seq analyses challenges and solve them yourself.
When? 09 - 12 October 2017
Where? Leipzig, Germany
Link? RNA-Seq Data Analysis Workshop
In a nutshell
- Learn the essential computing skills for NGS bioinformatics
- Understand NGS analysis algorithms (e.g. read alignment) and data formats
- Use bioinformatics tools for handling RNA-Seq data
- Compare different approaches for differential expression analysis
Scope and Topics
The purpose of this workshop is to get a deeper understanding in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with a special focus on bioinformatics issues. Advantages and disadvantages of current sequencing technologies and their implications on data analysis will be discovered. You will be trained on understanding NGS data formats and handling potential problems/errors therein.
All workshop attendees will be enabled to perform important first tasks of NGS data analysis themselves. The course layout has been adapted to the needs of beginners in the field of NGS bioinformatics and allows scientists with no or little background in computer science to get a first hands-on experience in this new and fast evolving research topic.

Can I bring my own data to work with?
Hi Paul, unfortunately, we won't have time to work on other data than the ones we use during the course. But feel free to bring your questions and ask them. :)
