Workshop: mRNAseq Analysis with R

mRNAseq Differential Gene Expression with R


Summer 2019:
July 26 – 9am – 4pm

Location: Genetics/Biotech Center
425 Henry Mall Madison, WI 53706

LIMITED to 5 to 6 participants – (2 minimum)

REGISTER: use Google Calendar link to register on chosen date

Prerequisites:
– Prior experience with software R; (acquaintance with Rstudio useful.)

Recommended prior knowledge:
– Some proficiency in bash shell commands is more than useful
– mRNA-Seq linux-based workshop

Description

In this workshop we’ll focused on differential gene expression analysis (DEG) with alternate methods to those viewed on the linux-based workshop. We will use R packages: DESeq2, edgeR which use read-counts tables for analysis. We will review the creation of read-counts tables as well as normalization methods. As much as possible plots will be created with the R package ggplot2.

This is an all day workshop with emphasis on hands-on exercises.

* There is a minimal set of software that should be installed on laptops BEFORE attending the workshop. Instructions will be provided to attendees prior to the workshop and can be found within the PDF document: Preparation for R-based workshop

Fee: $190/ seat

Instructors:
Jean-Yves Sgro,  Ph.D., Biotechnology Center – jsgro@wisc.edu
