RNA-seq data analysis course On October 15-17th, NBIC, LUMC and AMC will organise the 2nd edition of the NBIC advanced NGS course: RNA-seq data analysis. The course is open for application. Course description The course is focussed on data pre-processing, quality control, and statistical methods for detection of differential gene expression. This is an expert course for people with experience in NGS and a follow-up course on the NBIC/LUMC NGS data analysis course (September 2012 in Rotterdam.) The course will consist of seminars and hands-on Galaxy and R practicals and will focus on data pre-processing, quality control, and statistical methods for detection of differential gene expression. * RNA-seq experimental approaches * Alignment and de novo assembly * Statistics for differential gene expression * eQTL analysis and allele specific expression * Software for RNA-seq data analysis Participants of the RNA-seq course should preferably have participated in the NGS data analysis course or have demonstrated hands-on experience with NGS data analysis. Dates: October 15-17th, 2012 Venue: AMC, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Coordinator: Peter-Bram 't Hoen (LUMC) For more information and registration see our website: www.nbic.nl/?id=NGSRNAseq www.nbic.nl/?id=rnaseqappform2012 Or send e-mail to Patrick Koks (education@nbic.nl) The NBIC BioWise Life Sciences (BioWise-LS; www.nbic.nl/education) programme currently offers five bioinformatics courses focussing on application and data-analysis of Next-generation sequencing (NGS). All NBIC NGS courses are co-developed and co-organised by experts in the field and in close collaboration with leading research groups throughout the Netherlands. All NBIC courses are taught in English and are open to PhD students and researchers worldwide.
