Hi everyone Instats is excited to offer a 6-day seminar, Analysis of RNA-Seq Data, running once per week from April 17 to May 22, being led by senior biostatistician Dr. Rosina Savisaar. This comprehensive workshop demystifies the RNA-seq analysis pipeline by focusing on data analysis and interpretation, fostering an intuitive practical understanding of key concepts. You'll gain hands-on experience with data visualization in genome browsers and R, learn descriptive statistics (such as RPKM, FPKM, TPM, and L2FC), and explore advanced techniques including hierarchical clustering with heatmaps, Principal Component Analysis, differential gene expression analysis using DESeq2, and functional enrichment methods like over-representation analysis and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis. Ideal for researchers new to gene expression analysis or those seeking deeper insights into RNA-seq methodologies, this seminar uses real-world datasets (including a reanalysis of a schizophrenia study) to reinforce learning through interactive weekly Zoom sessions. https://instats.org/seminar/analysis-of-rna-seq-data Sign up today to secure your spot, and feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues and students who might benefit!
