Learning objectives

At the end of the course, the participants will be able to:

  • Understand the steps from raw reads to expression counts, differential expression and interpretation of gene lists using enrichment analysis
  • Define a good experimental design, including experimental design, sequencing design, and quality control steps)
  • Perform quality assessment of RNA-seq data, raw and processed
  • Understand file formats commonly used in RNA-seq data analysis
  • Gain an overview on common software tools for RNA-seq data analysis and their limitations
  • Run RNA-seq pipeline to perform differential expression analysis
