Data Science Training Program

Gene expression is central to cell biology. Disease pathways often involve changes in the expression levels of at least some genes. RNA-seq has become one of the most popular experimental methods to quantify gene expression levels. This 2-day hands-on workshop will provide an introduction to a typical bulk RNA-seq protocol and focus on the data analysis steps for recovering actionable insights.
You’ll learn how to perform a quality check of the raw data in the typical format provided by sequencing centers, process it by trimming adapters, map trimmed reads to a reference genome, and tally gene-wise counts. You’ll learn to analyze high-throughput data using docker, learn about various methods of quality control at each step, and interpret data formats such as FASTQ, BAM, and GFF. No prior RNA-seq experience is required.

Novice: This is an introductory workshop in the RNA-Seq Analysis series. No prior experience required. No prerequisites.

The Gladstone Data Science Training Program was started in 2018 to provide trainees with learning opportunities and hands-on workshops to improve their skills in bioinformatics and computational analysis. This program offers a series of workshops throughout the year to enable trainees to gain new skills and get support with their questions and data.
