It will include instruction on the use of different analytical tools, relevant file formats, reference genomes, reference-based alignment, and differential gene expression. Bulk, single-cell, and spatial approaches will be covered. The workshop will employ hands-on exercises using complete analytical pipelines on test datasets.

Included topics

  • Transcriptome sequencing techniques
  • QC considerations
  • Read alignment to a reference genome
  • Differential expression
  • Bulk, single-cell, and spatial approaches
