Introduction to Bulk RNAseq analysis (November 2024)
A 3-day introductory course targeted towards SUND researchers to learn how to do RNAseq analysis
This workshop contains a basic tutorial on how to approach bioinformatics analyses of bulk RNAseq data, starting from the count matrix.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Gain insight into how to design an RNAseq experiment
- Preprocess sequencing reads
- Analyze bulk RNAseq data using the R package DESeq2
- Know best practices for performing Differential Expression Analysis
- Annotate and interpret their results
The workshop material includes a tutorial on how to approach RNAseq data, starting from your sequencing data. Thus, the workshop only briefly touches upon laboratory protocols, library preparation, and experimental design of RNAseq experiments, mainly for the purpose of outlining considerations in the downstream bioinformatic analysis.
The workshop is based on the materials developed by members of the teaching team at the Harvard Chan Bioinformatics Core (HBC), a collection of modified tutorials from the DESeq2 and R language vignettes.
This workshop is presented in collaboration between the Center for Health Data Science (HeaDS) and The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Medicine, (reNEW)
