Course description
The BioSB research school and partner LUMC are organizing a 3-day course on
RNA-seq data analysis from September 26-28, 2016. This is an advanced course
for people with experience in NGS. The course will consist of seminars and
hands-on command line, Galaxy and R practicals and will cover the analysis
pipelines for differential transcript expression and variant calling.
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. The practicals are mostly in R. We
require that participants have at least basic knowledge of R and experience
in running R scripts. 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
projects  <http://rd-connect.eu/> RD-Connect,  <http://www.rd-neuromics.eu/>
Neuromics,  <http://www.eurenomics.eu/> Eurenomics  and
