Introduction to RNA-Seq and NGS

Within this online course, a basic introduction of RNA sequencing will be provided, covering bulk RNA-Seq for gene expression analysis, as well as single cell RNA-Seq and fusion gene detection. We will detail the workflow from RNA sample to analyzed data and give practical examples of data analysis and visualization.

Organizer and trainers from: TRON, University Medical Center Mainz
