RNA-Seq: Experimental Design and Analysis (Bioinformatics)

Thursday, July 26th, 2018

09:00 AM - 05:00 PM

Storrs Campus
ESB Conference Room 304

CBC Workshops are open to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty. Each class enrolls a maximum of 10 students and provides hands-on training and background for genomics data analysis. Two instructors are available to assist participants as they work through the provided exercises. All materials, including sample and processed data files, are available after the course ends.

RNA-Seq: Experimental Design and Analysis (Bioinformatics)
Dates: July 26-27 2018, 9-5pm
Location: Storrs Campus - ESB Building
Enroll here: http://bioinformatics.uconn.edu/cbc-workshop/
Cost: $600

Course material will introduce students to HPC, command-line bioinformatics software, and standard informatics pipelines for processing RNA-Seq data. We will look at microbial and eukaryote examples. We will cover the basics for both model (reference genome) and non-model (de novo transcriptome) approaches. Previous experience with HPC and/or programming are not required.

In 2014, Provost Mun Choi and Vice-President for Research Jeff Seemann announced the establishment of the Center for Genome Innovation (CGI) within the Institute for Systems Genomics, under the direction of Rachel O’Neill, Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology.
The mission of the CGI is to provide state-of-the-art expertise in genome technologies like Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and microfluidics platforms for single cell genomic analysis while facilitating genomics research for faculty and students across the University of Connecticut campuses.

Located on both the Storrs and Farmington campuses, the CGI’s infrastructure will serve as a nexus for computational biology support and incorporate instrumentation previously included within the Center for Applied Genetics and Technology: ABI 3500 Genetic Analyzer; BioRad CFX96 Real-Time PCR machine; Affymetrix Gene Atlas and Gene Chip Systems. UConn has also acquired 4 NGS instruments (2 Illumina NextSeq 500 and 2 Illumina MiSeq sequencers). The Illumina NextSeq 500 will be upgraded to the NextSeq 550 in the Fall of 2017. Support for these technologies will be in the form of experienced user access, hands-on assistance, training and/or consultation through the CGI.
