RNA-seq in Galaxy (from reads to counts)
About this Event
RNA-seq in Galaxy (from reads to counts)
Lead trainer:
Jesscia Chung (Melbourne Bioinformatics, The University of Melbourne)
Workshop Description:
Attendees can expect to gain an understanding of approaches to and practical experience in: performing quality control of short read data, mapping reads to a reference genome and generating gene count tables. Places are limited to encourage discussion and experienced RNA-seq and Galaxy trainers will be present to answer your questions.
This training workshop will be conducted using Galaxy and the workshop materials are based on the following Galaxy training material:
- RNA-seq reads to counts
It is important that you are familiar with navigating the Galaxy platform as the workshop will not include introductory content on how to use the platform.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Perform quality control of short read data
- Align reads to a reference genome
- Generate gene counts
Target Audience:
Researchers who have, or will soon acquire, RNA-seq short read data that they need to analyse themselves. No programming experience is required.
Eligibility:
This free workshop is available to staff and students at The University of Melbourne and its affiliated institutes.
You must register for this event using an affiliated institutional email address or your registration may be cancelled.
