Workshop
The UND Genomics Core presents:
"Two-day workshop on using R and Gene Expression analysis"
Thursday, February 21st 8:30am- 4:00 pm
Friday February, 22nd 8:30am- 3:30 pm
Location: School of Medicine and Health Science Room E223
Time: 8:30 am -4 pm
Lunch is provided
This FREE two-day hands-on workshop is intended for wet-lab biologists without basic knowledge of the Unix command line or R statistical package. The workshop will provide a broad overview of using Linux and R for data analysis. Participants will get hands-on experience in the analysis of RNA-Seq data and will get an opportunity to handle RAW sequencing data, analysis for differential gene expression and functional analysis Gene Ontology (GO), KEGG pathway analysis, etc.) Topics will be delivered using a mixture of lecture presentations, hands-on training, and group discussions and provide an opportunity to understand the statistical concept behind various analytical approaches. Analysis during the workshop will use publicly available datasets.
Topics Covered
- Introduction to Linux
- Introduction to R
- Plotting graphs in R
- Handling next-generation sequencing data
- Analysis of RNA-Seq data
- Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes
Daily Schedule: Tentative
All lectures include Hand-on training sessions.
