Learn how to perform your own single-cell analysis using Galaxy – no programming required.
Data to Discovery is a series of hands-on training events designed to help life scientists move from following tutorials to performing their own single-cell analyses. The programme begins with a series of self-paced tutorials from the Galaxy Training Network (GTN), which will be paired with online troubleshooting and discussion sessions. You will then be supported in finding a public single-cell RNA-seq dataset (if necessary) before you begin your analysis with the support of experienced Galaxy trainers at the in-person Bring Your Own Data (BYOD) event. Support will be available throughout the course, and the training is designed specifically for life scientists who are new to bioinformatics or single-cell analysis. This course is for you if you want to analyse single-cell RNA-seq data but aren’t sure where to start.
Learning goals:
By the end of this training, you will be able to:
- Run a complete single-cell analysis workflow in Galaxy
- Cluster and interpret single-cell RNA-seq data
- Find, import, and analyse public datasets relevant to your research
- Adapt existing workflows to your own projects
Prerequisites:
This training has been designed for:
- research students and early career researchers in the UK
- life scientists interested in applying single-cell RNA-seq analysis
- researchers planning to use single-cell analysis in a student project, dissertation, research proposal, or independent project
You do not need to have your own dataset to participate as you will be supported in choosing a suitable public dataset during the programme.
You don’t need any experience of single-cell analysis, programming, or using Galaxy workflows. This course is suitable for you if you’re new to bioinformatics or new to single-cell analysis, even if you find the idea of coding or interpreting single-cell clusters rather intimidating!
You will get the most out of this course if you are ready to work through the tutorials in your own time and actively participate in discussions. We are particularly keen to support researchers whose access to bioinformatics support is limited.
We will be available for questions and assistance during the workshop. The workshop will be held in person on site.
