Topic: RNA-seq

Build a statistically rigorous RNA-seq analysis in R and Bioconductor. The workshop develops data import and visualisation skills, hypothesis testing and genomic interval analysis before covering read mapping, count normalisation, differential expression and multiple-testing correction. Practical comparisons include DESeq2, edgeR and limma/voom. The final session interprets functional pathways using overrepresentation and permutation-based gene-set enrichment analysis. Six live online sessions on 2, 3, 5, 6, 9 and 10 November, 15:00–18:00 Europe/Berlin (CET). Fee €530. Basic R programming and

Develop a practical foundation for handling and interpreting next-generation sequencing data. This workshop-style winter school begins with Linux, cloud computing and sequence-quality assessment, then uses containers for reproducible analysis. Exercises cover short- and long-read genome assembly, assembly evaluation, annotation and visualisation, followed by phylogenetics, phylogenomics, RNA-seq processing and differential expression. Examples compare Illumina, Nanopore and PacBio data across biological systems and experimental designs. Live online, 8–12 February, 14:00–20:00 Europe/Berlin (C

Study gene regulation by processing and integrating RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, MNase-seq, ChIP-seq and Hi-C measurements. The five workshop days cover expression analysis, chromatin accessibility, chromatin composition, three-dimensional genome interactions and multi-omics integration. Practical work includes quality control, alignment, differential expression, peak and motif analysis, and visualisation of genomic contacts. Reproducible Linux and R notebooks connect assay design to biological interpretation. Live online, 22–26 February, 13:00–19:00 Europe/Berlin (CET). Fee €480. Participants need a b
