Description:
Welcome to our NGS: RNA-seq course where you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to analyse and visualise bulk RNA-seq data.
Before taking this course, it is important to understand the basics of NGS by taking the NGS: Introduction and pre-processing pipeline course.
This course is for you if
- You have basic knowledge of R programming language which may have been obtain via our Pillar 2: Basic R with Data Carpentry course
- You work in a biomedical field
- You require flexible learning format
- You need to start using RNA-seq data
- You want to gain a better understanding of what information you can get from RNA-seq data
- You would like to learn how to carry out differential expression analysis for bulk data
Learning objectives
- Obtain a clear understanding of how RNA-seq data are analysed and visualised
- Understand how differentially expressed genes are detected
- Perform differential expression analysis test
- Use R to read in NGS data and annotate features
