About this Class

Our hands-on training workshop has been rescheduled to June 17. Register now to learn how to analyze RNA-Seq data using Galaxy, a user-friendly platform that makes computational biology accessible to researchers without coding experience.

Drs. Daoud Meerzaman and Qingrong Chen will:

• Introduce you to RNA-Seq data analysis,

• Show tutorials on how to use popular RNA-Seq analysis packages, and

• Prepare you to independently run basic RNA-Seq analysis for expression profiling.

During the self-paced hands-on exercise, you will have the chance to test out the Galaxy platform using Illumina paired-end RNA-Seq data to:

• Run quality control check on sequencing data

• Align the sequencing reads to a reference genome

• Generate alignment statistics and checking mapping quality

• Measure abundance of transcripts

• Perform differential expression analysis

• Visualize the output of RNA-Seq analyses

Whether you’re new to bioinformatics or looking to sharpen your RNA-Seq data analysis skills, this workshop will equip you with practical tools and confidence to run your own analyses— no programming required.
