</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">This is an expert course for people with experience in NGS. The course will consist of seminars and hands-on command line, Galaxy and R practicals and will focus on
data preprocessing, quality control, alignment, visualization and statistics for differential transcript expression. <br>
Examples will be taken from human and mouse studies. The course does not cover prokaryotic RNA profiling nor plant- and metagenomics aspects.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">
