Topic Overview
Analysis of gene expression changes in response to different treatments or conditions can yield important biological insights, including elucidating abiotic and biotic stress responses, uncovering disease and resistance mechanisms, and highlighting developmental changes. In this workshop you will learn how to perform differential gene expression, visualization, and pathway analysis. In addition, you will learn how to perform coexpression analysis and identify genes driving expression shifts.
Objective
Come learn about differential gene expression analysis in this virtual workshop that will teach you with hands-on analysis from start to finish. This differential expression workshop covers basic linux skills, quality control, read alignment, abundance estimation, differential expression analysis, visualization, and pathway analysis. Note that this workshop covers differential expression of bulk tissues (we cover single cell expression in a separate workshop).
Audience
This advanced workshop is targeted towards undergraduate or graduate students in biology or related fields.
Prerequisites
Unix, sequencing basics and other study guides will be provided upon acceptance.
What to expect upon acceptance
Email confirming acceptance into the internship program and further details.
Logistics
The workshop will be conducted virtually using primarily Zoom as our conferencing platform. We will also use a variety of other software and tools, and you will log onto NCGR’s Unix analysis server for the command line tools. After the workshop, students can use our analysis server for their research or education purposes for up to one year.
Selection Committee to select participants shortly after the deadline. If any questions arise while reviewing your application packet, we will contact you directly.
