landing.png  

15 - 19 November 2021

This workshop will introduce the best practice bioinformatics methods for processing and analyses of RNA-seq data via a series of online lectures and computer practicals.

Audience National workshop open for PhD students, postdocs, researchers and other employees within Swedish academia. This course is run by the National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS).

Fee This online training event has no fee. However, if you confirm your participation but do not do so (no-show) you will be invoiced 1300 SEK. Please note that NBIS cannot invoice individuals.

 

Covered topics

  • RNAseq Quality control analysis
  • Mapping of short reads
  • Quantification of gene expression
  • Exploratory data analyses
  • Differential gene expression
  • Gene set enrichment analysis

 

Application

The final day for application has passed, no more applications will be accepted. Next instances of this course will be announced on the NBIS http://nbis.se/training/events.html and SciLifeLab https://www.scilifelab.se/education/courses/ websites.

This is a national course. The course is open for PhD students, postdocs, group leaders and core facility staff. We do accept application from other countries, but give priority to applicants from Swedish universities prior to applicants from industry and academics from other countries.

Please note that NBIS training events do not provide any formal university credits. The training content is estimated to correspond to a certain number of credits, however the estimated credits are just guidelines. If formal credits are crucial, the student needs to confer with the home department before submitting a course application in order to establish whether the course is valid for formal credits or not.

Entry requirements

Required for being able to follow the course and complete the computer exercises:

  • Basic knowledge in Linux and R
  • Steady and fast internet connection to be able to follow the workshop.

    • At least 6 GB of RAM. 
    • Operating system Win10, OS X or Linux
    • At least 30 GB of free storage

Desirable:

  • Experience working with NGS data analysis or completed the NBIS workshop “Introduction to Bioinformatics using NGS data”
  • Experience working in R or completed the NBIS course “R Programming Foundations for Life Scientists”

Due to our best practice to have a high teacher to student ratio we have set the number of participants to a maximum of 20 participants. If we receive more applications, participants will be selected based on several criteria. Selection criteria include correct entry requirements, motivation to attend the course as well as gender and geographical balance.
