Description

NBIC and partners LUMC, AMC and EMC will organize a 3-day course on RNA-seq data analysis from 15 – 17 October 2012. This is an expert course for people with experience in NGS and a follow-up course on the general NBIC NGS data analysis course (which will be given from 11-13 September 2012 in Rotterdam.) The course will consist of seminars and hands-on Galaxy and R practicals and will focus on data preprocessing, quality control, and statistical methods for detection of differential gene expression.

Course topics: 

  • RNA-seq experimental approaches
  • Alignment and de novo assembly
  • Statistics for differential gene expression
  • eQTL analysis and allele specific expression
  • Software for RNA-seq data analysis

Target audience

Participants for the RNA-seq course should preferably have participated in the general NGS course or otherwise have demonstrated hands-on experience with NGS data analysis. The course is aimed at PhD students and post-docs, but scientific programmers and data analysts with a background in biology and bioinformatics may also attend.

The registration procedure for this course will open in September 2012. If you pre-register here, you will be notified  as soon as the application form is available.

    • Why am I getting so many unmapped reads in STAR, classified as "too short"?
      I am currently using STAR to map several Hi-SEQ mRNA runs. I'm having trouble getting a decent amount of reads to map, but I don't really understand why. I'm hoping you can shed some light :) In the final log, only about 50% (or less) of the reads map to the reference. I'm using a GTF in addition to the genome. The unmapped bin that most […]
    • What are the best practices for SNP identification in RNA seq transcriptome data
      I have 20 RICE RNA seq tranascriptome data hiseq 2000 platform paired end reads. I aligned fasta reads with BWA and remove PCR duplicates with PICARD. Later I call SNP with samtools using various parameters. I would like to clarify what parameters should I used while alinging to reference rice genome for looking SNP location 100 bp upstream and 250 bp downst […]
    • How do TopHat options -g , --supress-hits, and Bowtie options interplay?
      Hi, I am currently using TopHat2 to map RNA-seq runs. I think there have been some changes pertaining the -g option. Does anyone know how it works now? I used to think that setting -g would look for n alignments for a given read, report them [if top-scoring] and discard those reads that had more than g [top scoring] alignments. Now, the description sounds mo […]
    • What happened to -k in TopHat for multiple-mapping reads?
      Selecting -g n in tophat does not discard reads mapping more than n, but instead only reports n alignments for those out all all their TOP scoring alignments. I think there used to be an option -k that would allow one to discard reads that topped x alignments -- whatever happened to that? I only see -g in the tophat 2 manual, no reporting options like before […]
    • Does tophat use the library-type information for mapping, or just for the XS flag?
      When I specify library-type to TopHat, i.e., first-strand, second-strand, unstranded, TopHat appends a value + or - to the XS:A flag, which is useful for subsequent analyses, such as annotation. However, does this information actually influence the "mappability" of reads, or is this unaffected? My thinking is that the information would be considere […]
    • Purpose of Y-shaped adapters in Illumina Sequencing?
      Hi all, Y adapters different sequences to be annealed to the 5' and 3' ends of each molecule in a library. The arms of the Y are unique, and the middle part, connected to the DNA fragment, is complementary. What are the advantages of this? My take of this over having fully-complementary adapters (ADAPTER1 - - - - - ADAPTER1) is that: -Upon primer a […]
