SFB Galaxy Workshop

We are grateful to announce the next Z03 workshop on bulk RNA-seq, CHIp-seq and ATAC-seq analysis and would like to invite all of our SFB members to participate.

Date: Oct 12/13th, 2022
Venue: Goethe University Frankfurt
Maximum capacity: 17 participants

Content:
We will be utilizing the Galaxy workflow to familiarize the participants with basic tools used for analyzing bulk RNA-seq, CHIp-seq and ATAC-seq.

The analysis will include:
– Find differentially expressed genes between conditions
– Quantify expression levels per transcript
– Get familiar with the integrated Genome browser
– Find differences in chromatin accessibility
– Link differential epigenome sites to changes in gene expression
– Determine de novo or using established database which TF motifs are enriched in a set of (differential) peaks.

Registration
Please register via the SFB Office (info@cardiovascular-ncrna.de) with your name, institution and email address. Registration closes when all places are filled. 

TUM module on Data Analysis and Visualization in R

Z03 project offers TRR267 researchers to attend their winter semester module at the TUM ‘Data Analysis and Visualization in R’ with a dedicated weekly tutored exercise session and case studies on your own data.

By following the first 6 weeks of the module, you will learn R programming basics, importing, cleaning and organizing data, basic and more advanced plotting as covered in Chapters 1-6 from the online book https://gagneurlab.github.io/dataviz/. You will have access to all the course material (script, exercises, lecture videos).

TRR267 participants will join the course with draft figures for a paper in the making, and end´ up with improved figures and a computational workflow to generate them. To this end, you will present to other TRR267 participants your research project and your data with a 2-minute introductory flash talk on the first day. Over the course, you will work on improving your own figures. The course ends with 10-minute presentations of your results
on the last day.

When and where
The course will span 8 weeks from the week of Monday 10th Oct to the week of Monday 28th November.

On the first week we will have a first online session via Zoom, covering the course organization and introduction and 2-min flash talks. In the next 6 weeks you will follow the TUM module and have weekly dedicated tutored exercises. In the 8th week, you will work on your own data and present your improved figures and analyses.

Each chapter’s lecture is recorded and can be viewed at any time.
TRR267-dedicated tutored exercises will be held online via Zoom platform.

Prerequisites
Participants must join the lecture with their own laptop, with R studio installed: https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio
Have also Zoom installed: https://zoom.us/
