Reference-based approaches to RNA-seq analysis

Trainer: Simon Andrews

Overview: 
The session covers the standard parts of the QC, processing, visualisation, exploration and analysis of RNA-Seq data. It provides the theoretical background to the different steps as well as showing example of the practical application of each step. The session includes extensive practicals which allows learners to run an entire analysis as they would with their own data.

Learning outcomes:

After this section you should be able to:

  • Interpret the theory of RNA-Seq analysis
  • Analise raw data QC
  • Map RNA-Seq data to a reference and analyse the quality of such mappings
  • View and explore RNA-Seq data
  • Perform differential expression analysis
  • Review and visualise differential expression hits
  • Validate Results
