About this event

During this one-day hands-on workshop, we will cover techniques, platforms and methods that are used in analyzing single cell data. The workshop has two hands-on sessions: an introductory session in the morning and a more advanced session in the afternoon. The morning session will focus on analysis using Seurat and Monocle. In the afternoon, we will have three advanced hands-on sessions ranging from network analysis of single cell datasets in Cytoscape, normalization and differential analysis outside of Seurat and querying a Single Cell Atlas for cell types. Laptop required.

Instructor’s note: Please sign up only for the session that matches your experience level and learning goals. Review the requirements and details below before registering for a session.
