Dear all,

We are excited to announce that there are a few seats remaining for our online course "RNA-Seq Analyses in Non-Model Organisms" taking place from 18th to 22nd November.

Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course11/

This course offers a comprehensive guide to RNA-Seq data analysis, with a focus on non-model organisms. Participants will learn de novo transcriptome assembly (using tools such as Trinity), expression analysis, and functional annotation. Additionally, hybrid assemblies using both short-read (Illumina) and long-read (PacBio IsoSeq) data will be explored.

Programme Highlights:

Day 1: High Throughput Sequencing, 2nd generation

Day 2: NGS data de-novo transcriptome assembly

Day 3: Long-read (3rd gen) sequencing and hybrid assembly

Day 4: Transcript quantification, differential expression (using R/Bioconductor)

Day 5: Differential expression analysis, final discussion

Target Audience: Biologists with basic bioinformatics skills and familiarity with Linux and R, seeking to explore transcriptome sequencing in organisms without a reference genome.
