Galaxy workshop: RNA-seq differential expression analysis

Wednesday, December 2, 2015 in B1-076, 3:00 - 5:00 pm

Galaxy is a popular web-based platform for performing complex and reproducible computational biology analyses with no computer programming, and we’re happy to be able to provide galaxy.fredhutch.org on the Hutch internal network for use by Fred Hutch researchers and affiliates.

RNA-seq has become a standard assay in molecular biology, and Galaxy has a comprehensive set of tools to help you learn from the results. This hands-on workshop for Fred Hutch employees and affiliates is an introduction to RNA-seq differential expression analysis using Galaxy, including:

• Performing basic quality control
• Mapping reads to a reference genome
• Assembling transcripts
• Quantifying differentially-expressed transcripts

Attendees must bring a laptop to the course, but we’ll provide the pizza. Please use your fredhutch.org or affiliate email address when registering!

Register via Eventbrite here. Registration is limited to 15 participants. If the class is full, there will be an option to add yourself to the waiting list — please do so if you’re still interested! We’ll use the waiting list in case of cancellations and to plan future workshop sessions.
