This course is particularly suitable for those seeking training in
using NGS data for tanscriptomics (RNA-seq), and in extensively
annotating with Blast2GO, the most popular and powerful tool for this
purpose.
Course description:
This is a combined course in RNA-seq and functional annotation aimed
at scientists working in next generation sequencing transcriptomics
who want to extract the best possible information from their data.
The first part of the course is a practical tutorial on Blast2GO, the
most popular framework for functional annotation of sequences.
Participants will also learn how to generate de novo functional
labels, such as GO terms and KEGG pathways, for their sequence data
and how to extract relevant information from these annotations, i.e.
visualization and enrichment analysis using the Gene Ontology. The
second part of the course covers many relevant aspects of RNA-seq
analysis, form quality control, to mapping, reconstruction of
transcripts and differential expression. Participants will learn how
to deal with RNAseq data both in the presence and absence of a
reference genome.
At the end of the course, participants can expect to have acquired
skills to use multiple software tools to analise RNA-seq data and use
Blast2GO.
The course will be based on the use of Blast2GO application and will
mainly comprise exercises and practical cases. Participants may bring
their own data.
*Who should attend?*
Experimentalists and bioinformaticians working on EST, NextGeneration
Sequencing and microarray design projects, specially (but not
exclusively) of non-model species. No programming knowledge is required.
*Course Pre-requisites:*
Basic knowledge in Molecular Biology and Statistics.
