COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The aim of this course is to get a deeper understanding of RNA-Seq
experiments, providing a theoretical introduction to the data processing
steps, together with practical sessions illustrating the use of the most
popular data analysis TOOLS. Starting from the raw sequenced data coming
from different phenotypical samples (e.g disease vs healthy control
samples), genes which are differentially expressed between the two
conditions are determine.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Students will gain an understanding of:

- experimental design - quality control

- theoretical principles of RNA-Seq data analysis process - how to
identify differentially regulated genes

- how to identify alternative splicing events - how to identify gene
fusion events

- multiple testing correction - biological interpretation of RNA-seq
data
