ELIXIR-IIB, in collaboration with the Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine (TIGEM) and the National Research Council, is pleased to announce the upcoming practical course on “Single Cell RNA Sequencing and Data Analysis” that will take place in May 7-9 in Pozzuoli (Italy). Full details at: ELIXIR-IIB Single Cell Course
COURSE DESCRIPTION
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 and weaknesses.
- A practical hands-on laboratory training to produce 10X Genomics 3’ Single-Cell RNA sequencing libraries.
- A practical bioinformatics training that will provide guidelines and tools to process and analyze Single-Cell RNA sequencing libraries from raw sequences to visualization.
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for applications: 16 March 2019
