Actions Panel
Intermediate R: RNAseq analysis
When and where
Date and time
Monday, April 22, 2019 · 2 - 5pm PDT
Location
UCSF Mission Bay Genentech Hall, 1st Floor, Room N114 600 16th St San Francisco, CA 94158
Description
The learning objectives for this workshop include: 1) How to go from a matrix of raw gene expression counts to differentially expressed genes. 2) How to analyze experimental designs that go beyond 2-group comparisons using edgeR’s generalized linear modeling capabilities. 3) Ways to test specific hypotheses using a joint model fit.
Prerequisites: A minimum of 4 to 6 months experience programming in R and have taken the RNAseq Analysis in R workshop or something equivalent.
Laptop required.

About the organizer
The emerging field of precision medicine demands a new approach to research that harnesses the power of data science. This requires biomedical researchers and practicing clinicians with skills in quantitative and computer sciences as well as modern computing and data infrastructure to support relevant research activities and implement findings in clinical practice. The UCSF Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute is working to build a foundation of faculty and knowledge assets in computational health sciences and bring together a community of thinkers interested in this emerging field. Our initiatives are focused on enhancing education and infrastructure as well as building community with the goal of advancing computational health sciences in research, practice, and education—in support of precision medicine for all.
