This meeting is focused on researchers who are either at the beginning of their studies or have moved onto a new subject area and will be analysing RNAseq expression data as part of their studies. This workshop is designed for non-bioinformatic experts and will be run at a level appropriate for wet-lab researchers without previous bioinformatics experience. We will provide hands-on sessions that will describe the use of software tools that can interrogate RNAseq data and the biological relevance of these tools. The workshop will also demonstrate different ways to visualise RNAseq data. Prior to the workshop we will provide an example dataset that will be analysed as part of the workshop. This hands-on training will be useful for the analysis of delegates’ own data. In addition we include a session on Open Data and data reuse strategies that can benefit your research.

We are also offering a optional one-day Genomics Data Carpentry (Monday December 10) for researchers who have limited or no previous command-line experience. This optional section will introduce you to analysing data in R, and better prepare you for future analyses. The cost of this additional session is £20 to cover food, refreshments and administration.
