Register Now: Virtual RNA-seq Analysis Workshop

Join us July 29–31, 2025 for a hands-on Virtual RNA-seq Analysis Workshop designed for researchers working with a reference genome and annotation. Whether you’re new to RNA-seq or looking to sharpen your skills, this workshop provides practical training using real datasets.

You’ll learn the full RNA-seq workflow, including experimental design, sequencing quality control, alignment to a reference genome, differential expression analysis, and gene ontology / gene set enrichment—all from the comfort of your own laptop.

No prior experience? No problem! A self-guided introduction to Linux, HPC, and R will be available two weeks before the workshop to help you get started.
