DESCRIPTION:This course is now full with a long waiting list. We are no lon
 ger accepting applications. If you do not want to miss your chance to be p
 art of the next session and remain informed about all training activities 
 at SIB\, we highly recommend you to keep an eye on our list of [upcoming e
 vents](https://www.sib.swiss/training/upcoming-training-courses) and subsc
 ribe to our [courses mailing list](https://lists.sib.swiss/mailman/listinf
 o/courses)\, if not yet done. Thank you for your understanding.\n\n# Overv
 iew\nThis two-day course will present the theory and bioinformatics tools 
 required to analyze RNA-seq gene expression data\, The course will present
  the theory and bioinformatics tools required to analyse RNA-seq gene expr
 ession data\, from the raw data until the biological interpretation. The f
 ollowing topics will be discussed:\n* Quality control\n* Mapping to genome
 s &amp\; transcriptomes\n* Read counting\, gene &amp\; exons differential 
 expression analysis\n* GO enrichment and pathway analysis\n\n# Audience\nT
 his course is addressed to life scientists or bioinformaticians familiar w
 ith "Next Generation Sequencing" who wish to acquire the necessary skills 
 to analyse RNA-seq gene expression data.\n\n# Learning outcomes\nAt the en
 d of the course\, the participants are expected to:\n* Describe advantages
  and pitfalls of RNA sequencing\n* Design their own experiment\n* Perform 
 the downstream analysis using command line software (QC\, mapping\, counti
 ng\, differential expression analysis\, pathway analysis\, etc)\n* Critica
 lly assess the quality of their results at each step of the downstream ana
 lysis\n\n# Prerequisites\n##### Knowledge / competencies\nParticipants sho
 uld already have a basic knowledge in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) tec
 hniques.\n\nBasic knowledge of the R statistical software and completion o
 f an introductory course on UNIX (eg UNIX fundamentals) or equivalent know
 ledge is also required.\n##### Technical\nYou are required to have your ow
 n Wi-Fi enabled laptop.\n\nYou should also have access to a terminal on yo
 ur computer: if you are on macOS / Linux\, this is already the case\; if y
 ou are on Windows\, you should install a terminal which lets you do ssh (f
 or instance mobaXterm).  \n\n# Schedule\n\nThis course will be streamed.\n
 \nIt will start at 9:00 CET and end around 17:00 CET. \n\nPrecise informat
 ion will be provided to the participants on due time.\n# Application\nThis
  course is over-subscribed with a very long waiting list. We are not accep
 ting applications any more.\n\nThe registration fees for academics are **1
 20 CHF** and **600 CHF** for for-profit companies.\n\nYou will be informed
  by email of your registration confirmation. Upon reception of the confirm
 ation email\, participants will be asked to confirm attendance by paying t
 he fees within 5 days.\n\nDeadline for free-of-charge cancellation is set 
 to **19/08/2021**. Cancellation after this date will not be reimbursed. Pl
 ease note that participation in SIB courses is subject to our [general con
 ditions](https://www.sib.swiss/training/terms-and-conditions).\n#  Additio
 nal information\nCoordination: Monique Zahn\, SIB Training Group.\n\nWe wi
 ll 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 mail
 ing list to be informed of all future courses and workshops\, as well as a
 ll important deadlines using the form [here](https://lists.sib.swiss/mailm
