The co urse will present the theory and bioinformatics tools required to analyse RNA-seq gene expression data\, from the raw data until the biological inte rpretation. The following topics will be discussed:\n* Quality control\n* Mapping to genomes &\; transcriptomes\n* Read counting\, gene &\; ex ons differential expression analysis\n* GO enrichment and pathway analysis \n\n# Audience\nThis course is addressed to life scientists or bioinformat icians familiar with "Next Generation Sequencing" who wish to acquire the necessary skills to analyse RNA-seq gene expression data.\n\n# Learning ou tcomes\nAt the end of the course\, the participants are expected to:\n* De scribe advantages and pitfalls of RNA sequencing\n* Design their own exper iment\n* Perform the downstream analysis using command line software (QC\, mapping\, counting\, differential expression analysis\, pathway analysis\ , etc)\n* Critically assess the quality of their results at each step of t he downstream analysis\n\n# Prerequisites\n##### Knowledge / competencies\ nParticipants should already have a basic knowledge in Next Generation Seq uencing (NGS) techniques.\n\nBasic knowledge of the R statistical software and completion of the [UNIX fundamentals](https://edu.sib.swiss/pluginfil e.php/2878/mod_resource/content/4/couselab-html/content.html) e-learning m odule or equivalent knowledge is also required.\n##### Technical\nYou are required to have your own Wi-Fi enabled laptop.\n\nYou should also have ac cess to a terminal on your computer: \n\n macOS / Linux: you can use the d efault terminal. If you are unfamiliar with scp\, you may want to install a graphical client for file transfer\, such as fileZilla \nWindows\, you s hould install a terminal which lets you do ssh (for instance mobaXterm).\n \n\n# Schedule\n\nThis course will be held ONLY in person at the Universit y of Basel. It will start at 9:00 and end around 17:00.\n\nPrecise informa tion will be provided to the participants in due time.\n\n# Application\n\ n\n\n\nThe registration fees for academics are **200 CHF** and **1000 CHF* * for for-profit companies. \nWhile participants are registered on a firs t come\, first served basis\, exceptions may be made to ensure diversity a nd equity\, which may increase the time before your registration is confir med.\n\nApplications will close as soon as the places will be filled up. D eadline for free-of-charge cancellation is set to **12/09/2025**. Cancella tion after this date will not be reimbursed. Please note that participatio n in SIB courses is subject to our [general conditions](https://www.sib.sw iss/training/terms-and-conditions).\n\nYou will be informed by email of yo ur registration confirmation. Upon reception of the confirmation email\, p articipants will be asked to confirm attendance by paying the fees within 5 days.\n\n# Additional information\nCoordination: Monique Zahn\, SIB Tra ining Group.\n\nWe will recommend 0.5 ECTS credits for this course (given a passed exam at the end of the course).\n\nYou are welcome to register to the SIB courses mailing list to be informed of all future courses and wor kshops\, as well as all important deadlines using the form [here](https:// lists.sib.swiss/mailman/listinfo/courses).\n\nPlease note that participati on in SIB courses is subject to our [general conditions](https://www.sib.s wiss/training/terms-and-conditions).\n\nSIB abides by the [ELIXIR Code of Conduct](https://elixir-europe.org/events/code-of-conduct). Participants o f SIB courses are also required to abide by the same code.\n\nFor more inf ormation\, please contact [training@sib.swiss](mailto://training@sib.swiss ).
