Workshop FAQ

Who should attend?

Anyone with keen interest in RNA-seq.  Prior course participants have included faculty, post docs, grad students, advanced undergraduates, staff, and industry researchers.

What are the prerequisites?

Prior bioinformatic experience is not required.  We have dedicated the first day of workshop to the basics of Linux and high performance computing.

What do I need?

You will need your own laptopWE RECOMMEND PARTICIPANTS TO HAVE 2 DISPLAY UNITS (MONITORS), THIS WILL HELP YOU TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTOR ON ONE AND WILL LET YOU CARRY OUT THE EXERCISE ON THE OTHER. We will send you details of softwares and installation instructions.

Can I bring my own data?

We will provide experimental datasets for use during the workshop, as this helps to keep the workshop moving. There will be time, however, to discuss your own datasets and how you might work with them outside of the workshop.

How much does it cost?

The registration fee is $500 and $400 for UConn affiliates. It is payable at the time of registration with credit card or KFS.

Where is the workshop?

It will be held on zoom, and will run from 9:00am to 12:00pm on the date indicated.

How do I apply?

Virtual RAD-seq Workshop :: (Click here to expand)

Workshop schedule

Day 1: Introduction to Linux and high performance computing.

Day 2-4: 

The workshop will cover basic concepts and walk through a complete analysis on a high performance computing cluster. The analysis will start with raw reads and go through some very basic analyses of population genetic structure. The core learning goal is to familiarize attendees with the steps necessary to analyze RAD-seq data, the tools available, common data formats, and possible pitfalls they may encounter. The short duration of the workshop means that nearly all the time will be given to explaining the rationale and mechanics of each stage of the analysis, and not to independent exercises.

Virtual RAD-seq Workshop :: (Click here to expand)

Workshop schedule

Day 1: Introduction to Linux and high performance computing.

Day 2-4: 

The workshop will cover basic concepts and walk through a complete analysis on a high performance computing cluster. The analysis will start with raw reads and go through some very basic analyses of population genetic structure. The core learning goal is to familiarize attendees with the steps necessary to analyze RAD-seq data, the tools available, common data formats, and possible pitfalls they may encounter. The short duration of the workshop means that nearly all the time will be given to explaining the rationale and mechanics of each stage of the analysis, and not to independent exercises.
