Computational_Methods_Epitranscriptomics website <https://elixir-iib-training.github.io/site/2024-09-Computational_Methods_Epitranscriptomics>
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course aims to provide a foundation on experimental planning, analytical strategies, and computational approaches for using RNAseq and Nanopore direct RNA sequencing to profile RNA modifications. Participants will learn the fundamental concepts and bioinformatics skills needed for epitranscriptome analysis, and acquire specific skills in command-line tools for calling, annotating, and filtering RNA variants. The course also covers theoretical aspects of RNA editing and practical sessions focused on its detection in human/mouse transcriptomes using Illumina RNAseq data.

COURSE TOPICS:
- Theoretical aspects of Nanopore direct RNA sequencing to profile RNA modifications;
- Hands-on bioinformatics tools for the analysis of Nanopore direct RNA sequencing data;
- Theoretical aspects of computational methods to detect RNA editing in human/mouse transcriptomes using Illumina RNAseq data.
- Hands-on bioinformatics tools for calling, annotating, and filtering RNA editing events.
