Beginner’s guide to bulk RNA-Seq Analysis

Goals of this webinar:
The use of high throughput short read RNA sequencing has become common place in many scientific laboratories. The analysis tools for quantitating a transcriptome have matured becoming relatively simple to use. The goals of this webinar are:

  • To give a general overview of the popular Illumina technology for sequencing RNA.

  • To outline several of the key aspects to consider when designing a RNA-Seq study

  • To provide guidance on methods and tools for transforming reads to quantitative expression measurements.

  • To describe statistical models that are typically used for differential expression and why these specialized models are needed.
