In this course, you will learn how to perform RNAseq data analysis via linux command line. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to RNAseq data analysis, covering the key concepts and tools needed to perform differential expression analysis and functional annotation of RNAseq data. Students will learn how to preprocess raw sequencing data, perform quality control, and align reads to a reference genome or transcriptome. The course will also cover differential expression analysis using statistical methods and visualisation of results using popular tools such as R. You will learn how to do end-to-end RNAseq data analysis which includes pre-processing of RNAseq data, Quality Control analysis, Differential Gene Expression analysis, Clustering and Principal Component Analysis of the gene expression data. You will also learn how to download data, install the bioinformatics/IT softwares using Conda/Anaconda on Mac, Windows or Linux platforms. I will guide you through performing differential expression analysis on RStudio (graphical user interface for R language).
Throughout the course, students will work with real-world datasets and gain hands-on experience with popular bioinformatics tools and software packages. By the end of the course, students will have a thorough understanding of RNAseq data analysis and will be able to perform their own analyses of gene expression data. This course is ideal for researchers, scientists, and students who are interested in understanding the molecular basis of gene expression and exploring the potential applications of RNAseq technology. No prior bioinformatics or programming experience is required, but a basic knowledge of molecular biology and genetics is recommended.
