BIOINFORMATICS CORE WORKSHOPS

Single Cell RNA-Seq Analysis

July 9th, 10th and 11th 2025 9am- 5pm

This three-day workshop covers experimental design, data generation, and analysis of single cell RNA sequencing data. Participants will explore a single cell experiment using the command line and R, create and modify workflows, and diagnose and treat problematic data utilizing high performance computing services. The primary packages used for analysis will be 10x software for sequence reads to counts, and the R package Seurat for downstream analysis, ParseBioscience’s split-pipe will be discussed
