Advanced Workshop: Single-Cell RNA-Seq Analysis - 4-Day Live Course https://www.prstats.org/course/single-cell-rna-seq-analysis-scrn01/ Dive deep into the world of single-cell transcriptomics with Single-Cell RNA-Seq Analysis (SCRN01), a 4-day live online course made for researchers who want to go beyond bulk RNA and unlock cell-level insights. What you'll learn: Fundamentals of single-cell RNA-Seq: experimental design, quality control, normalization, batch effects, and best practices. Hands-on processing of single-cell data using tools like Seurat / Scanpy: filtering, clustering, trajectory inference, dimensionality reduction. Visualization and interpretation of single-cell data: marker discovery, differential expression, heatmaps, UMAP, t-SNE. Strategies for tackling challenges: dropouts, sparsity, integration of multiple samples, cell type annotation. Access to course materials (datasets, code, slides), along with follow-up support to apply the tools to your own data. Course structure & schedule: Live online over four days, with interactive lectures and practical sessions. Recorded sessions so you can revisit lessons and catch up. Who should attend: Researchers, data analysts, and bioinformaticians working with single-cell RNA-Seq or planning to. Those familiar with R or Linux basics, and comfortable with the command line. Cost & early bird: Standard fee: 350 Early bird: 325 (first five places) Email oliver@prstats.org with any questions. Upcoming courses...
