Hands on Workshop on
“Transcriptome library preparation and RNA-seq Analysis”
February 22-24, 2025
The Bio-IT Centre at IBAB is organizing a three-day hands on workshop on ”Transcriptome library preparation and RNA-seq analysis” on February 22-24, 2025 . This workshop will provide hands-on training in RNA qualitative and quantitative analysis, library preparation for RNA profiling of RNA libraries using tapestation and an introduction to NGS sequencing platforms. Basic Linux and R command line, RNA seq data analysis, Processing NGS data, aligning and counting reads, differential gene expression analysis, Pathway analysis.
Target Audience:
The course is aimed at students, researchers, and technicians who wish to employ NGS sequencing approaches in their work but may not have sufficient training in/awareness of library preparation, a key step in data analysis, and data analysis using R. Ph.D. scholars/postdoctoral fellows/JRFs/faculty involved in pure experimental biological research are encouraged to apply. The course will also be beneficial to those pursuing M.Sc./ M.Tech. in Biotechnology/Life Sciences/Microbiology/Biosciences who may be interested in transitioning to molecular biology/ bioinformatics-focused opportunities in academia or industry. Teachers from undergraduate and postgraduate teaching institutions and research institutes across Karnataka are also encouraged to apply. Please note that minimal eligibility is pursuing a Bachelor’s degree.
Twenty-five candidates will be selected for this workshop on a first-come basis.
RegistrationFee(inclusiveofGST):These fees are only for those working in India. If you are working abroad, please email workshops@ibab.ac.in for payment details.
