NBIC/BioSB RNA- seq data analysis course (4th edition) Date: 7-9 July, 2014 Location: Leiden, the Netherlands Course coordinators: Peter-Bram 't Hoen (LUMC), Jan Oosting (LUMC), Andrew Stubbs (ErasmusMC), Celia van Gelder (NBIC/BioSB, education@biosb.nl<mailto:education@biosb.nl> ) Course website: http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio/rna-seq/ . Registration: Registration is not yet open. You can express your interest in the course by filling out the pre-registration form at http://biosb.nl/education/enrollment/pre-registration-courses/ . More information: education@biosb.nl<mailto:education@biosb.nl> Course description 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. Course topics RNA-seq experimental approaches Alignment and de novo assembly Statistics for differential gene expression eQTL analysis and allele specific expression Variant calling and RNA editing Small RNA profiling Software for RNA-seq data analysis Target audience Participants for the RNA-seq course should preferably have participated in the general NGS course or otherwise have demonstrated 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. BioSB Course Programme The course portfolios of NBIC (bioinformatics) and NCSB (systems biology) will be integrated and continued in the Netherlands Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Research School (BioSB).
