Description


After learning the basics of command line usage, HPC and R/Rstudio, it's time to put your new skills in use and use them in RNA-seq data analysis! This course is aimed at bioscientists who are planning on analysing their RNA-seq data. During the course, we will learn the basic steps in RNA-seq analysis and how to use some of the most common analysis tools on command line and in R.

This course is part of the Bioweek 2020. You can participate in ALL or only SELECTED Bioweek's courses. We have planned the Bioweek 2020 so that we are building on top of the previous knowledge. For example, the last course (basics of RNA-seq data analysis) has command line, R/RStudio and CSC services usage as prerequisites. 

Learning outcome


After the course, participants:

  • can name and discuss the different stages of a basic RNA-seq analysis and common tools used in these steps, 
  • can run some RNA-seq analysis tools on command line
  • import and start analysing their RNA-seq data in R


Prerequisities

The participants are required to have basic skills/knowledge in:

Bioweek is structured so that this course builds on top of the earlier courses. This means that all the prerequisite skills can be learned on the two courses organised earlier on the same week. If you have no prior knowledge or suspect your knowledge on these subjects, please consider participating in all the three courses.
