BroadE Workshops: RNA-Seq Basics
This workshop will cover the basic conceptual ideas behind library construction, sequencing, and initial
analysis of RNA-Seq data. The workshop is aimed at biologists who want to learn the basics of RNA-Seq analysis, computationalists who want to understand more about the basics of RNA-Seq data generation, or anyone who is interested in RNA-Seq but is not familiar with basic high throughput sequencing technologies.
We will start with very basic concepts from three perspectives: generating high throughput (e.g., Illumina) sequencing data; making RNA-Seq libraries; and understanding mRNA structure, annotation, and quantitation. We will proceed through the steps of basic sequencing into the common first pass methods for analysis. Prospective attendees who are already familiar with the majority of these concepts and are looking for a more in depth or hands-on workshop on specific RNA-Seq techniques are advised to look for our more advanced workshop in May.
