RNA-seq and Differential Expression

Registration Overview

Prerequisites: This course requires access to the Texas A&M HPRC Grace cluster.

• Students completing this course will earn 4 Professional Development Hours (PHDs).
• Please direct questions about the course to Help@hprc.tamu.edu . For questions related to the registration process, please contact TEES EDGE.

Learning Outcomes

Students will learn about the different techniques used to generate RNA-seq libraries and how to properly design a differential expression study. This online, asynchronous course will also cover the basic steps that need to be completed for differential expression analyses, including RNA-seq library quality control and trimming, read alignment to a reference genome, generating count files, and differential expression analysis and data visualization in R.

Target Audience

Any student wanting to learn the bioinformatic methods utilized to analyze RNA-seq data, as well as the general considerations that need to be taken into account when designing and implementing such an experiment.
