<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">BioSB/NBIC and partners LUMC and ErasmusMC are organizing a 3-day course on RNA-seq. This is an expert course for people with
experience in NGS and a follow-up course on the general NBIC NGS data analysis course (coordinator Jeroen Laros, LUMC). 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. Examples will be taken from human and mouse studies. The course does not cover prokaryotic RNA profiling nor plant- and metagenomics aspects.

hands-on experience with NGS data analysis. The course is aimed at PhD students and post-docs, but scientific programmers and data analysts with a background in biology and bioinformatics may also attend. Registrations will be handled on a first-come-first-served
basis but experience and motivation will be reviewed. Seats have been reserved for participants in the FP7-funded project RD-Connect and Marie Curie European Training Network TranCYST.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
