RNA-seq workshop: from reads to differentially expressed genes

This is an expression of interest registration form for a hands on 2 day workshop in RNAseq analysis.

EOI deadline 5:00PM Tuesday 18th April 2023 Successful applicants will be notified: Friday 21st April 2023

Workshop Description:

Across 2 days (10am-1pm each day) attendees can expect to gain an understanding of approaches to and practical experience in: quality control of short reads, alignment, gene counts, data normalisation, differential expression and visualisation. Places are limited to encourage discussion and experienced RNA-seq and Galaxy trainers will be present to answer your questions. The workshop materials are based on the following Galaxy training workshops:

• RNA-seq reads to counts
• RNA-seq counts to genes

This training workshop will be conducted using Galaxy. It is important that you are familiar with navigating the Galaxy platform as the workshop will not include introductory content on how to use the platform. Attendance at a previous Galaxy workshop or working through this material is sufficient for attendance.

Lead trainers:

Jessica Chung (Melbourne Bioinformatics, The University of Melbourne) Tom Harrop (Melbourne Bioinformatics, The University of Melbourne)

Target audience:

Researchers who have, or will soon acquire, RNAseq short read data that they need to analyse themselves. Attendees are expected to be familar with the Galaxy interface, however programming experience is not required. Due to the limited number of places available at this workshop, places will be allocated based on this expression of interest application. Please complete the registration questions and submit them before the EOI deadline.

Eligibility:

This free workshop is primarily available to staff and students at The University of Melbourne and its affiliated institutes . When registering for this event you must provide an email address for an affiliated institution, or your registration may be cancelled. Required: No programming experience is necessary, but familiarity with navigating the Galaxy platform is required as the workshop will not include introductory content on how to use the platform. Attendance at a previous Galaxy workshop, such as the workshop earlier this month, or working through this material is sufficient for attendance. This is an in person hands-on workshop and attendees must bring their own computers (laptop chargers also recommended) with access to the Uniwireless or Eduroam internet/wifi. The following is also required:

• Web browser (Firefox or Chrome recommended)
• Participants should register for a Galaxy Australia account using their institutional email address

Melbourne Bioinformatics workshops are FREE for all researchers and students from the University of Melbourne and its affiliated research institutes.
