RNA-Seq: The Use of Short Read Illumina Data for Transcriptome Annotation and Quantification

By Dr. Dena Leshkowitz

RNA-Seq is a powerful technology for analyzing transcriptomes. This workshop will start with an hour lecture on the various computational approaches and tools to analyze the data, including:

• Read mapping
• Transcriptome reconstruction
• Expression quantification
• Detecting differential genes and transcripts

A hands-on session will follow the lecture. In this session we will practice RNA-Seq workflows provided in Galaxy (Tophat, cufflinks and cuffdiff) and the Partek Genomics Suite software.

When: Monday, February 13th, 2012, 9:30 - 12:30
Where: Levine computer classroom
