Practical course on Single-Cell RNA Sequencing and Data Analysis

Single-Cell Transcriptomics is improving the quality of biological investigations by enhancing the dissection of heterogeneity in complex tissues and cell cultures. This 3-day course aims to provide an overview of a complete Single-Cell RNA sequencing workflow: A theoretical overview of all existing methods to perform Single-Cell RNA sequencing libraries with a focus on individual features […] ...

Train the Trainer

ELIXIR-IIB, in cooperation with the ELIXIR-EXCELERATE Train-The-Trainer programme, will hold a Train the Trainer (TtT) event in connection with a course on “Best Practices for RNA-Seq analysis”. The course is made up of four sessions, covering: Learning principles and how they apply to training and teaching Teaching techniques that can be used to enhance learner […] ...

Machine Learning for Biologists

The aim of the course is to provide a practical introduction to the analysis of “omics” data. Topics will range from data visualization/exploration to univariate/multivariate analysis and machine learning. Practical examples and applications will be illustrated by using R and Python. Course Milestones: Data exploration and visualization Univariate/Multivariate analysis Introduction to machine learning: classifiers, performance […] ...

Python for Life Scientists

Python is an object-oriented programming language that is ideal for biological data analysis. The course will start from zero knowledge, and will introduce the participants to all the basic concepts of Python such as calculating, organising data, reading and writing files, program logic and writing larger programs. All the examples and practical sessions will focus […] ...

NGS for evolutionary biologists: from basic scripting to variant calling

This course will provide an introduction to next generation sequencing platforms, data analysis and tools for data quality control, including alignment to a reference sequence, data handling and visualisation, and variant calling and filtering (single nucleotide polymorphisms and structural variants). The course will be delivered using a mixture of lectures and computer based hands-on practical […] ...
