DESCRIPTION:# Overview\n\nSingle-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) allows rese
 archers to study gene expression at the single cell level. For example\, s
 cRNAseq can help to identify expression patterns that differ between condi
 tions within a cell-type. To generate and analyze scRNAseq data\, several 
 methods are available\, all with their strengths and weaknesses depending 
 on the researchers’ needs. This 3-day course will cover the main technol
 ogies as well as the main aspects to consider while designing a scRNAseq e
 xperiment. In addition\, it will cover the theoretical background of analy
 sis methods with hands-on practical data analysis sessions applied to drop
 let-based methods.\n\n# Audience\nThis course is intended for life scienti
 sts and bioinformaticians familiar with "Next Generation Sequencing" who w
 ant to acquire the necessary skills to analyse scRNA-seq gene expression d
 ata.\n\n# Learning objectives\n\nAt the end of the course\, participants w
 ill be able to:\n\n  * distinguish advantages and pitfalls of scRNAseq\n  
 * design their own scRNA-seq experiment\n  * apply a downstream analysis u
 sing R\n  \n\n# Knowledge / competencies prerequired (Mandatory)\n\nPartic
 ipants should already have a basic knowledge in Next Generation Sequencing
  (NGS) techniques\, or have already followed the "[NGS - Quality control\,
  Alignment\, Visualisation](https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20230515
 _NGSQC)". Knowledge in RNA sequencing is a plus. A basic knowledge of the 
 R statistical software is required. [Test your R skills with the quiz here
 \, before registering](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIyeuabd_
 ZOWXgI1MWHapmaOMu20L9ESkLDZiWnpmkpujyOg/viewform?usp=sf_link).\n\n\n# Tech
 nical requirements\nAttendees should have a Wi-Fi enabled computer. **An o
 nline R and RStudio environment will be provided.** However\, in case you 
 wish to perform the practical exercises on your own computer\, please take
  a moment to install the following before the course:\n*  R version &gt\; 
 4.0.\n*  Latest RStudio version\, the free version is perfectly fine.\n\n\
 n\n# Program\nProgram will be communicated in due time. Program of past oc
 curences can be found on [GitHub](https://sib-swiss.github.io/single-cell-
 training/latest/course_schedule/).\n\n\n\n# Application\n\n\n**The course 
 is now full with a long waiting list.** \n\nThe registration fees for acad
 emics are **180 CHF** and **900 CHF** for for-profit companies. While part
 icipants are registered on a first come\, first served basis\, exceptions 
 may be made to ensure diversity and equity\, which may increase the time b
 efore your registration is confirmed.\n\nApplications will close once the 
 places will be filled. Deadline for registration and free-of-charge cancel
 lation is set to **20/02/2022**. Cancellation after this date will not be 
 reimbursed. Please note that participation in SIB courses is subject to ou
 r [general conditions](https://www.sib.swiss/training/terms-and-conditions
 ).\n\nYou will be informed by email of your registration confirmation. Upo
 n reception of the confirmation email\, participants will be asked to conf
 irm attendance by paying the fees within 5 days.\n\n# Venue and Time\n\nTh
 is course will ONLY be streamed.\n\n\nIt will start at 9:00 CET and end ar
 ound 17:00 CET every day.\n\nPrecise information will be provided to the p
 articipants in due time.\n\n\n#  Additional information\nCoordination: Dia
 na Marek\n\nWe will recommend 0.75 ECTS credits for this course (given a p
 assed exam at the end of the course).\n\nYou are welcome to register to th
 e SIB courses mailing list to be informed of all future courses and worksh
 ops\, as well as all important deadlines using the form [here](https://lis
 ts.sib.swiss/mailman/listinfo/courses).\n\nPlease note that participation 
 in SIB courses is subject to our [general conditions](https://www.sib.swis
