Bioinformatics and Biomathematics Training Hub

The Bioinformatics and Biomathematics Training Hub (BBTH) is a BBSRC-funded collaborative project to coordinate the development and sharing of training materials and expertise across the UK’s National Institutes of Bioscience (NIB — http://www.nib.ac.uk/) for the increasingly important areas of bioinformatics and biomathematics.

Guided by our NIB partners, researcher surveys, and interactions with interested bodies such as Elixir-UK, we will work to ensure that best use is made of existing assets and capabilities, that best practice is shared across the NIB, and that redundant effort is minimised going forwards.

Introduction to RNA-Seq Using Galaxy: Studying the transcriptome

View material

Audience

The intended audience includes any student, postdoc or RA who has an interest in bioinformatics and who intends to conduct RNA-Seq analysis on a Galaxy platform.

Overview

RNA-Seq is an immensely powerful technique that allows us to examine the presence and quantity of RNA in biological samples. This provides insight into when and where transcription takes place. Processing NGS (next generation sequencing) data is a complex and resource intensive process, involving a number of different software packages and file formats. This course will provide an introduction to those tools on a Galaxy Platform.
