Session 10: Transcriptome-based Study Designs

Topics Covered

  • Experimental design: number of reads, pair end sequencing, benefits (e.g. Cost, inhouse)
  • Data processing: data format, data QC, alignment, visualization/quantification, issues specific to RNA-seq (splicing)

Practical

  • Sequencing Data Quality Check
  • RNA-seq alignment using STAR
  • Post-alignment quality assessment
  • Visualization of alignment
  • Gene/Transcript quantification using htseq and RSEM
