The MiCM will be collaborating with the Human Genetics Student Society to host aÌýfull-day in-personÌýevent to boost your bioinformatic skills and improve your understanding of transcriptomic data analysis. We will kickstart the day with a discussion panel between the workshop instructors to answer some of the most pressing questions in the field.
The event will close with a Keynote talk from Prof. Hamed Najafabadi from the Ìý³Ù¾±³Ù±ô±ð»åÌý
"Using transcriptomics to understand the gene regulatory basis of human diseases"
Based on their level of experience in bioinformatics, atendees can choose one of two workshop tracks:
- Beginner stream that will introduce attendees to the basics of bulk and single cell RNA-seq data analysis.Ìý
- Advanced stream with workshops onÌýlong read RNA-seq data analysis and advanced topics inÌýsingle cell transcriptomics. Atendees will have the opportunity to tests the acquired skills on their own dataset during the finalÌýÌý"bring your own data" session.Ìý
The keynote talk will be open to all ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ students at no cost.Ìý
