*Course credits*
1.5 ECTS
*Course overview*
This course covers the basic concepts and methods required for RNA-seq
analysis. Particular attention is given to the data analysis pipelines for
differential transcript expression and variant calling. Presentations are
followed by hands-on computer sessions using Linux command line tools,
Galaxy and R to directly apply and get more insight in the analysis
methods. One afternoon is dedicated to the analysis of a new data set,
allowing the students to refresh and extend their analysis skills. Students
can also bring their own RNA-seq data for practicing. We will also explore
the potential of long-read based RNA-seq in a Friday afternoon literature
club. After the course, the presentations, practicals and test data will
remain available for future reference. Software packages used are freeware.
*Target audience*
Participants for the RNA-seq course should preferably have participated in
a general next-generation sequencing (NGS) course or otherwise have some
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.
*Learning outcomes*
After having followed this course:
- The participant has insight into the issues involved in good
experimental design of RNA-seq experiments.
- The participant knows and can perform analysis steps in
reference-based and de novo RNA-seq data analysis, and visually present and
judge the results for:
- quality control and preprocessing,
- finding differentially expressed genes,
- variant calling,
- cluster analysis,
- classification analysis,
- pathway testing.
- The participant has insight in various RNA-seq platforms, their
specificity in solving certain biological questions, and the bottlenecks in
these applications.
- The participant has insight into the different algorithms and options
available to perform an analysis, and can make an informed choice.
- The participant knows the pitfalls of existing analyses and is able to
critically judge the statistical analysis of RNA-seq data performed by
others.
