This workshop is meant to teach important notions in RNA-Seq such as how to align sequencing reads to a genome, how to perform a differential expression analysis and how to go beyond a list of genes (functional enrichment, integration with metabolic pathways).

We will first introduce RNA-Seq experimental design and main post-sequencing steps, what is important to know in RNA-Seq, etc. to give an overview of what you can achieve with this technique.

Then it will be followed by a hands-on session where we will execute the different steps one by one in the cloud and look at the output files.

Priority is given to employees of the SILS and IBED institutes (FNWI, UvA) and additional seats will be opened depending on the affluence.

This workshop is brought to you by the Amsterdam Science Park Study Group as part of the 2021 Summer School.
