DESCRIPTION:High-throughput sequencing of RNA libraries (RNA-seq) has becom
 e increasingly common and largely supplanted gene microarrays for transcri
 ptome profiling. When processed appropriately\, RNA-seq data has the poten
 tial to provide a considerably more detailed view of the transcriptome. Th
 e CBW has developed a 3-day course providing an introduction to RNA-seq da
 ta analysis followed by integrated tutorials demonstrating the use of popu
 lar RNA-seq analysis packages. The tutorials are designed as self-containe
 d units that include example data (Illumina paired-end RNA-seq data) and d
 etailed instructions for installation of all required bioinformatics tools
  (HISAT\, StringTie\, etc.). De novo assembly of transcripts will be cover
 ed.\n\nParticipants will gain practical experience and skills to be able t
 o:\n\nPerform command-line Linux based analysis on the cloud\nAssess quali
 ty of RNA-seq data\nAlign RNA-seq data to a reference genome\nEstimate kno
 wn gene and transcript expression\nPerform differential expression analysi
 s\nDiscover novel isoforms\nAssemble RNA-seq data into transcripts\nVisual
 ize and summarize the output of RNA-seq analyses in R
