DESCRIPTION:An introduction to RNA-seq analysis using the Galaxy Australia 
 web platform\n\n**About this workshop**\n\nRNA-seq is a popular method for
  simultaneously measuring and comparing the expression of tens of thousand
 s of genes in multiple samples.\n\nThere are many steps involved in analys
 ing RNA-Seq data. The analysis begins with sequencing reads (FASTQ files).
  These are usually aligned to a reference genome. The number of reads mapp
 ed to each gene can then be counted. This results in a table of counts\, w
 hich is what we perform statistical analyses on to determine differentiall
 y expressed genes and pathways.\n\nThis practical workshop provides a hand
 s-on introduction to RNA-seq analysis from reads to counts\, to differenti
 al expression. The workshop makes use of Galaxy\, an online platform for b
 iological research that allows people to use computational data analysis t
 ools and workflows without the need for programming experience.\n\nThe wor
 kshop materials are based on the following Galaxy training workshops:\n\n-
  [RNA-seq reads to counts](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-mat
 erial/topics/transcriptomics/tutorials/rna-seq-counts-to-genes/tutorial.ht
 ml)\n\n- [RNA-seq counts to genes](https://training.galaxyproject.org/trai
 ning-material/topics/transcriptomics/tutorials/rna-seq-reads-to-counts/tut
 orial.html)\n\n**Who the workshop is for**\n\nResearchers who have\, or wi
 ll soon acquire\, RNA-seq short read data that they need to analyse themse
 lves. No prior experience with RNA-seq analysis is required.\n\nThe worksh
 op requires you to be familiar with using and navigating Galaxy Australia.
 \n\nIf you are new to the Galaxy platform (an online platform for computat
 ional analysis) we recommend that you work through the Galaxy 101 For Ever
 yone tutorial in advance of the workshop.\n\n**Date/Time: 23 - 24 February
  2:00 - 5:00 pm AEDT**\n\n**How to apply**\n\nThe workshop is free but due
  to anticipated high demand\, participation is subject to application with
  selection. Places are strictly limited to 30 participants.\n\nIneligible 
 or incomplete applications will not be considered. For your application to
  be considered you must:\n\n- Have an Australian institutional email addre
 ss\n\n- Have\, or will soon acquire\, RNA-seq data\n\n- Complete the appli
 cation form\n\nApplications will be reviewed by the organising committee a
 nd all applicants will be informed of the status of their application (suc
 cessful\, waiting list\, unsuccessful) by Tuesday 16 February 2021.\n\nPle
 ase complete the application form if you are interested in attending this 
 workshop. Applications close 5pm AEDT Friday 5 February 2021.\n\n**[Apply

 d [Melbourne Bioinformatics](https://www.melbournebioinformatics.org.au/) 
 with the assistance of a network of Facilitators from around Australia. \n
