Hello everyone,

Next week, Dr. Adam Rork at The University of Connecticut Computational Biology Core (CBC) is hosting a three-day Virtual RNA-seq Data Analysis workshop, from February 24th to 26th, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST, via Microsoft Teams. Topics covered include accessing HPC resources and submitting jobs via Slurm, assessing and improving the quality of raw sequencing data via trimming, aligning reads to a reference genome and generating counts matrices, read alignment quality assessment, differential expression analyses, and functional enrichment analyses.

Temporary access to high-performance computing resources will be provided for attendees, and no prior HPC or Linux experience is required. All workshop materials, including slides, scripts, data, and recordings, will also be made available.

This three-day workshop is priced at $500 for non-UConn attendees and $400 for UConn-affiliates. Feel free to reach out to us here or at cbcsupport@helpspotmail.com if you have any questions. For more details on this and other workshops, and to register, please visit our website: https://bioinformatics.uconn.edu/cbc-workshops/. We look forward to discovering differentially expressed genes with you next week!
