This workshop will introduce the best practice bioinformatics methods for processing and analyses of RNA-seq data via a series of lectures and computer practicals.

Topics covered will include:

• RNAseq quality control analysis
• Mapping of short reads
• Quantification of gene expression
• Exploratory data analysis
• Differential gene expression
• Gene set enrichment analysis

More details about the course can be found at the previous year webpage: RNAseq course 2023

The course will follow similar structure and topics.

NOTE: in March 2024, the course will be a 5-day-course on-site in Uppsala.

Due to our best practice to have a high teacher to student ratio we have set the number of participants to a maximum of 20 participants.

Selection criteria include correct entry requirements, motivation to attend the course as well as gender and geographical balance.
