Join us June 23-25, 2026, for a hands-on, Virtual Single Cell RNA-seq Workshop designed for researchers interested in analyzing and interpreting single-cell RNA-seq data.

Participants will gain practical experience understanding experimental design considerations for single-cell RNA-seq experiments, converting raw sequencing data into count or expression matrices, assessing dataset quality, clustering cells (UMAP, t-SNE), identifying cluster-specific markers and annotating cell types, integrating datasets across conditions, and performing trajectory analysis to study cell differentiation.

No prior experience? No problem!
