A primer for RNA-Seq processing, interpreting and visualization

Educators:
de.STAIR partners
Dr. Dr. Steve Hoffmann (Leipzig)
Prof. Olaf Wolkenhauer (Rostock)
Prof. Wolfgang Hess (Freiburg)

Date:
4.-6.10.2017

Location:
Faculty of Biology, Freiburg (Breisgau)

Contents:
This workshop intends to introduce the Galaxy RNA-workbench for analysis of RNA-Seq data. Therefore, we will present Linux/Unix and Docker backgrounds, introduce methods for exploration of NGS data and fundamental statistics. In practical tutorials, workflow development, functional predictions of RNAs (e.g. miRNA target prediction) and visualization strategies will be trained.

Learning goals:
- Unix Shell basics
- Introduction to Galaxy RNA-workbench
- RNA-Seq data analysis and workflow development
- Fundamental statistics and file formats
- Functional RNA analysis
- Visualization concepts

Prerequisites:
This workshop is intended for MSc/PhD students and postdocs with background in life science research.

Keywords:
Unix Shell, Galaxy, Workflow development, RNA-Seq analysis, Functional RNA analysis, Visualization

Tools:
Galaxy
