02/18/2025 This module is the second part of a larger course, Bioinformatics for Beginners, which was designed to teach the basic skills needed for bioinformatics in the context of next generation sequencing experiments. Here, participants will be guided through hands-on bulk RNA sequencing analysis exercises using student accounts furnished by Biowulf, the NIH Unix-based high performance computing system, which has approximately 1,000 scientific softwares installed including those for RNA sequencing analysis. At the end of the series, participants will have a foundational understanding of bulk RNA sequencing analysis including QC, data cleanup, alignment, gene expression estimation, finding differentially expressed genes between conditions, and extraction of biological insight. Experience with bioinformatics or RNA sequencing analysis is not needed to attend. Participants do not need personal Biowulf accounts.
