An
introductory course to RNA-seq (Centro
di
Biotecnologie
Molecolari,
Via
Nizza
52, Torino, Italy, 27-28 March 2013)
Next Generation
Sequencing platforms changes the
conventional view of transcript
analysis.
Massive Parallel Sequencing
methods (MPS) can extend and improve
the knowledge obtained by conventional
microarray technology, both for mRNAs
and short non-coding RNAs, e.g. miRNAs.
This hands-on
course is organized by B&Gu
with guest speakers from Illumina and Singapore
Immunology Network. The course
is suitable for biologists who
are new to RNA-seq technology.
Additionally, if you have
analyzed gene expression data
from microarrays and would now
like to do projects using
RNA-seq technology, then this
workshop will enable you to
gather information on the
critical issue on RNA-seq from
sample prep to data analysis.
The course is based on the use
of Bioconductor
open-source software. However, R coding skill is not required since
all the analyses are done using
oneChannelGUI,
a graphical interface to
Bioconductor tools, designed for
life scientists who are not
familiar with R language.
Knowledge of
statistics is not necessary
prior to attending the course.
Further course
information, agenda and
logistics can be found in the course
booklet.
