Join us Aug. 25-27, 2026, 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.

Reserve your spot now: bioinformatics.uconn.edu/cbc-workshops/

Seats are limited—sign up today!

Enhance your bioinformatics skills with our upcoming Virtual ChIP-Seq / ATAC-Seq Workshop on July 28–30, 2026! Whether you’re new to epigenomics or ready to refine your analysis skills, this hands-on training will guide you through exploring DNA–protein interactions and chromatin accessibility.

Learn quality control, peak calling, and downstream analysis using real ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq datasets—all from your own laptop!

No prior experience? No problem! We’ll start with a self-guided intro to Linux, HPC, and R to get you ready to dive in.

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!
