Description:

Speaker: Elizabeth Bartom, Assistant Professor, Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics

This workshop will begin with an overview of some of the diversity of sequence-based methodologies currently in use and rising in popularity. ChIP-seq, exome sequencing, 4-C, and RNA-seq are examples of these. We will then discuss some common components of the analyses of these different data types, primarily assuming that a reference genome and annotation exists for the organism under study. In the second half of the workshop, we will delve more deeply into the specifics of RNA-seq analysis, and students can carry out their own analysis of an example RNA-seq data set.

Users must bring their own computers for this session. Please note the different day and location for this session!

The Computational Skills for Informatics (CSI) Seminar is a series of presentations and hands-on workshops for Northwestern researchers designed to offer insight on topics relevant to bioinformatics and large dataset management and computation. It's hosted in collaboration with Galter Health Sciences Library, NUCATS, and Northwesetern University Information Technology.
