DESCRIPTION:**The course is now full with a long waiting list. If you do no
 t want to miss your chance to be part of the next session and remain infor
 med about all training activities at SIB\, we highly recommend you to keep
  an eye on our list of upcoming events (https://www.sib.swiss/training/upc
 oming-training-courses) and subscribe to our courses mailing list here (if
  not yet done): https://lists.sib.swiss/mailman/listinfo/courses. Thank yo
 u for your understanding.**\n\n\n# Overview\n\nIn contrast to the Bulk RNA
  sequencing used to quantify the abundance of gene and transcript expressi
 on at a whole population level\, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) all
 ows researchers to study gene expression profile at a single cell resoluti
 on while enabling the discovery of tissue specific subpopulations and mark
 ers. For example\, contrasting different sample conditions i.e. disease vs
 . normal using scRNAseq can help identify sub-cellular differential behavi
 ours and thus target specific gene markers. This 3-day course will cover t
 he main technologies as well main aspects to consider while designing a sc
 RNAseq experiment including a hands-on practical data analysis session app
 lied to droplet-based methods. The training materials for this course are 
 in its dedicated [GitHub page](https://sib-swiss.github.io/single-cell-tra
 ining).\n\n\n# Audience\nThis course is intended for life scientists and b
 ioinformaticians familiar with "Next Generation Sequencing" who want to ac
 quire the necessary skills to analyse scRNA-seq gene expression data.\n\n#
  Learning objectives\n\nAt the end of the course\, participants will be ab
 le to:\n\n  * distinguish advantages and pitfalls of scRNAseq\n  * design 
 their own scRNA-seq experiment\n  * apply a downstream analysis using R\n 
  \n\n# Knowledge / competencies prerequired (Mandatory)\n\nParticipants sh
 ould already have a basic knowledge in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) te
 chniques\, or have already followed the "[NGS - Quality control\, Alignmen
 t\, Visualisation](https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20211103_NGS6)". 
 Knowledge in RNA sequencing is a plus. A basic knowledge of the R statisti
 cal software is required. [Test your R skills with the quiz here\, before 
 registering](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIyeuabd_ZOWXgI1MWH
 apmaOMu20L9ESkLDZiWnpmkpujyOg/viewform?usp=sf_link).\n\n\n# Technical requ
 irements\n\nPlease check the required installation [detailed here](https:/
 /sib-swiss.github.io/single-cell-training/latest/precourse/ )\, **before**
  the start of the course. \n\n# Program\n\nThe program of this course can 
 be found in its dedicated [GitHub page](https://sib-swiss.github.io/single
 -cell-training/latest/course_schedule/).\n\n\n# Application\n\n\nThe regis
 tration fees for academics are **180 CHF** and **900 CHF** for for-profit 
 companies. While participants are registered on a first come\, first serve
 d basis\, exceptions may be made to ensure diversity and equity\, which ma
 y increase the time before your registration is confirmed.\n\nYou will be 
 informed by email of your registration confirmation. Upon reception of the
  confirmation email\, participants will be asked to confirm attendance by 
 paying the fees within 5 days.\n\nApplications will close once the places 
 are filled. Deadline for registration and free-of-charge cancellation is s
 et to **14/02/2022**. Cancellation after this date will not be reimbursed.
  Please note that participation in SIB courses is subject to our [general

  Venue and Time\n\nThis course will be streamed.\n\nIt will start at 9:00 
 and end around 17:00. \n\nPrecise information will be provided to the part
 icipants in due time.\n\n\n#  Additional information\nCoordination: Patric
 ia Palagi\n\nWe will recommend 0.75 ECTS credits for this course (given a 
 passed exam at the end of the course).\n\nYou are welcome to register to t
 he SIB courses mailing list to be informed of all future courses and works
 hops\, as well as all important deadlines using the form [here](https://li
