Complete schedule here
6/20-21/2013 RNA-Seq Analysis Workshop
Best Practices Workshop – RNA-Seq Analysis Workshop
June 20 and 21, 2013
Sanford Consortium Auditorium
2880 Torrey Pines Scenic Drive, La Jolla, Ca 92037
Description
The workshops will focus on introducing researchers to the principles behind RNA-Seq analysis and will provide a hands-on introduction to software and analysis pipelines for RNA-Seq. Two workshops will be held for two different intended audiences. Participants can only register for one of the two workshops.
1. The Galaxy tutorial workshop will be for participants who have little or no computational background. These are typically biologists who are interested in higher-level concepts and basic tools. This will involve a walk-through of web-based RNA-Seq analysis using Galaxy.
2. The Unix tutorial workshop is aimed at bioinformaticians and statisticians who may be responsible for setting up and running the computational pipelines that take the raw data all the way through the high level analysis. We will focus on advanced analysis using a UNIX command line environment to run open-source RNA-Seq software. Participants are expected to have a basic knowledge of the UNIX environment and a basic understanding of statistical methods. The first hour will be spent reviewing the relevant UNIX concepts.

*No-show Policy*
While we do not charge a fee to attend this event, these programs would not be sustainable and available to all wanting to attend, unless all registrants abide by the 72 hour cancellation notice policy. A no-show will limit your ability to book our events in the future. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Directions
Paid Parking at the Sanford Consortium ($8/day or $1hr/45mn). Free parking near the Torrey Pines Gliderport, within walking distance.
