This course will take place on consecutive Wednesdays, October 18 and 25, 2023, in the afternoon.

Overview

ASAP (Automated Single-cell Analysis Portal) is a web-based, collaborative portal aimed at democratizing single-cell omics data analyses and rendering it more accessible to researchers. ASAP does not require any installation and enables standardized analyses that can be run in minutes by any user without requiring significant computing power. The entire single-cell analysis pipeline is available in ASAP, allowing users to choose from a panel of tools, and guiding them through tutorials.

This 6 h course introduces participants to using ASAP for single-cell analysis, through lectures and hands-on exercises.

Audience

This course is addressed to students, postdocs, and researchers, from any scientific environment (academia, facilities, companies, etc.) interested in analyzing single-cell data.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the participants are expected to:
* run an RNA-Seq analysis
* carry out gene-set enrichment analysis
* perform a principle component analysis (PCA)
* visualize the results for multiple samples
* generate a scatter plot

Prerequisites

Knowledge / competencies

This course is designed for beginners. Basic knowledge of single-cell analysis (equivalent to the SIB courses Single-cell Transcriptomics or NGS - Single-cell RNA-Seq Analysis) is required.
