Hands-on Training in Advanced Transcriptomics (RNASeq) Analysis

Sep 25-28, 2018

Where?

National Institutes of Health
9000 Rockville Pike
Building 60, Room 162
Bethesda, MD 20892, USA

Objectives

Apart from performing the routine differential expression analysis using two different suite oftools, this hands-on training will help participants learn advanced RNA-Seq analysis techniquesand tools for detecting snps, fusion genes, allele specific expressions, circular RNAs,viral/bacterial sequence identification, alternative polyadenylation and transcriptional regulatorynetwork analysis.

Hands-on Skills/Tools Taught

• Differential expression analysis : Tuxedo tools
• Differential expression analysis : Trinity tools
• Fusion gene analysis : Tophat-Fusion
• SNP detection : GATK
• Allele specific expression : WASP
• Circular RNA identification : circexplorer
• Alternative polyadenylation : DaPars
• Viral integration : VirusFinder
• Network analysis : Cytoscape

Highlights

• Participants will work with a Graphic User Interface based Linux Desktop environment in the Amazon Cloud, that is specially configured to run popular open source RNA-Seq analysis tools.
• Cloud image with fully configured advanced RNA-Seq tools, freely provided to participants
• Training provided by experienced active NIH researchers
• Cookbook style bound manual for all exercises.
• Direct, after training support through exclusive forum membership
• Continuing Educational Credits
